What is SOPA and PIPA?
- PIPA – the Protect IP Act
- SOPA – the Stop Online Piracy Act
How Does This Affect You?
Blog Sites could be blocked or shut down - the internet will become a hunt for any possible copyright violation. These acts make it the blog owners responsibility for everything that is displayed on their site, including the comments of visitors.
Less Innovation - These acts are stopping developers from coming up with the next big thing in the online market that could change how we use the internet. If these acts were in affect when the internet was started many of the most popular sites would not have come into fruition. (No Facebook, YouTube, MediaFire, SoundCloud, Twitter, DropBox etc…) as any website can be targeted as a place where online piracy could take place.
Legal Action Over A Child Singing A Song - It is quite oblivious that none of the people on sites like YouTube have been given permission from record label execs to sing their favourite song, and then proceed to post it on a video sharing site.
The site the child will have posted the video on will be put under pressure to resolve this issue, or face their site being put on the blacklist. This child, and her family, could also very well face legal action with either the site or the record label the song that was sung has copyrighted.
The U.S. Government Hope They Will Spark Global Change – The U.S. government officials and private corporations aren’t only concerned about how these bills will work out in America, they are hoping that they will have the influence to get other nations to follow suit with these acts passing. That means if these acts pass, then the next country this could be coming toward may be yours.

So tomorrow we will be joining many other tech companies to highlight this issue on our US home page.

Na pohybel janas is the “fastest rising” search term across the internet in Australia and other countries fot the past month or so.

Google’s latest search endeavor has been unveiled and is called “Google Instant”. Like its name suggests, its Google but with “instant” search results. (First news of this functionality can be found back in August when I blogged about dynamic real time search results secretly rolled out to selected web users.
Google reports that “Instant” will save internet users around 2-5 seconds per Google search however SEO agencies are now in panic mode as it may result in search rankings focused on page 1 no longer having the same impact as they did previously. It’s too early to tell what impact this major change will have on your website traffic or for pages appearing outside of the top 10 results and/or user search behavior.
The digital writing is on the wall for any old-school SEO methods that focused entirely on page 1 rankings as the be-all-and-end-all of online optimisation. How do you think Google Instant will impact search?
