This may be the quickest recap I have done. I typically have to keep it under 10 minutes, due to the YouTube restrictions but this is even shorter. Why? Because I produced it on Friday, the day I got the iPhone - so I was tired. Yahoo and Live Search had major search updates. Google added search volume data to their keyword tool. Microsoft adCenter may be overtaking Yahoo Search Marketing. Google slapped AdWords advertisers, again. Google flipped colors of the AdWords ads. AdWords Editor 6.0 is bugged out. Yahoo's Garg gave us insight into Yahoo Search's algorithm. Google Trends showed off a swastika and Google Image search called "special people" "retards." Finally, Sphinn turned one year this week. Check it out at SERoundtable.com.

HI Barry, Just came across SER for the first time and really enjoyed your video update for 7/13. I have no clue to what the contest is, what the answer is (what's the question?), or yata, yata.... But maybe you will have pity on this first-timer and give me a shot at whatever the prize is! :-)

So you have the big fancy mic for this and after watching Leo Leoporte's 24 hours of iphone, I think you should invest into a fancy camera and maybe some lighting so it looks professional. Also, thanks for adding that song at the end. I wanted to try out Shazam, so I tried it with this song. Unfortunately, I tried to record a few times and it couldn't find it.

PS: The song is "Perfect Timing" by Orba Squara for those that are curious and don't want to spend 15 minutes searching like I did. :)
