Bing integrated the Facebook Likes data even more deeply into the search results. Google documented more on mobile SEO best practices and I summed up the key points. Google added recipes to the left side bar, it is driven by rich snippets. Google is more likely to now change your title tag. Should you host your images on your site or on a social image site? A kid is complaining that his dad is spamming his site in Google. Bing and Yahoo is not doing all that well competing with Google in paid search.

Google had a logo for Brancusi but no logo for President's Day, like Bing, Ask.com, Dogpile and others. That was this past week at the Search Engine Roundtable.
