dannomatic | 12 years ago | on: BlackBerry puts itself up for sale

Amazon is already in the hardware business and it is far from dead and dusted. Sorry to disagree. The Kindle Fire is a significant component in their business, it's currently running on Android, BB10 is an excellent OS + platform. Makes sense to buy BBRY, port to Kindle, disjoin from one of your biggest competitors and keep or eject the remaining pieces of BBRY hardware available on a case by case basis. The Q10 is a nice piece of hardware and BB10 is a great platform.

It's a natural fit and like I mentioned above Amazon was quite interested 18 months ago, I doubt much there has changed except the fact that the market cap for BBRY has fallen since then, making it an even more attractive asset to Amazon.

Amazon and Blackberry are the ideal fit. Amazon needs to gain independence from Android, they have the marketplace and the muscle to take advantage of all things Blackberry has in it's favour.

Remember they have already been in discussions in the past: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2077067/Amazo...

Neither MSFT nor Samsung really make sense as purchasers IMHO.

dannomatic | 13 years ago | on: The Death of SEO (Part 2): Generating Real Content

Sorry Colin, I should have been clearer. What Ken is referring to in the article is very commonly, what anyone who has attempted to optimize their content (typically known as SEO), would go through. He is making the argument that he has made an argument on how to create real content or to quote: "consistently and cost-effectively generate real content".

He then launches into all of the tactics he would employ under the banner of "The Death of SEO" when in fact he is advocating for precisely that: SEO.

I may quite possibly be missing something or not explaining myself and my previous comment. Hope that's not the case.

Stupid statements and headlines. Search engines continue to grow in popularity and usage. Doing good things, writing good content and structuring your site properly will never "die" - c'mahn now people.
