I thought I post this week's video recap on July 4th, because it is a special day. Happy July 4th Americans! In this week's video I show off the various July 4th logos from Google, Yahoo, MSN, Ask, and other sites. I discuss the recent "cloaking" debate. I then get into the various changes at Google, Google UK and even over at Yahoo. Then I discuss the news that Google and Yahoo are indexing Flash files. Google dropped the referrals system for DoubleClick's affiliate network. Google's content removal tool should be used correctly. Did Google lose to Viacom and is this a loss for our privacy? Don't forget to secure your brands on social networking sites. Finally, I hit 4 shots and missed five, so congrats to the winner and don't forget, you can win by listening and commenting at SERoundtable.com!
