Instant Previews in Google Search

From the Google Code Blog --
"If you’ve used Google Search recently, you may have noticed a new feature that we’re calling Instant Previews. By clicking on the (sprited) magnifying glass icon next to a search result you see a preview of that page, often with the relevant content highlighted. Once activated, you can mouse over the rest of the results and quickly (instantly!) see previews of those search results, too."

Groovy Fish

When it's late at night, we may be more casual about what we post.
This blog has some good Flash toys for Android.

Google TV looks great, it will let you watch both TV and Web at the same time, and lots more.

Video for our Website Client

Here us a first cut video by Matalasco for one of our new web development clients, love-danitra.com. Next cut will have a more polished script and tighter production.


First we created Danitra's brochure, then the handbill and website were easy. Actually, first we made her business cards. What a joy to see a small business obtain new contracts!

Back to the (SEO) Basics, and Music

www.matalasco.com has been reviewed and every planned link has content, whereas before some were just stubs. So it's time to go back to the basics Google's Search Engine Optimization
Starter Guide. Wow that's a lot of pages to meta-ize.


Glad to be using Pandora Radio and hear stations that only play music I like, while working. I've been shaping an Elvis Costello station with more Stones and Beatles and some Rihanna and Eminem. If you have created a Pandora station that you really like, go ahead and share it with me. :- ) Let me know if you want to try this Elvis.  Latest: Leon Russell / Elton John.  Oh yeah, my Blind Faith station is wow, good stuff.   :-)

China Dreams

Up and coming on strong, the Chinese people dream as we all dream. What do their dreams look like today?
www.chinasmack.com one of my favorite websites for fun and variety. 


"This film may be a little difficult for to understand if you have very different life experiences but many Chinese men have said this film made them cry. The English subtitles have many mistakes but it should still be understandable. At this time (of translating), the film has been viewed nearly 41 million times on Youku"
