POPSblognation issue - olivier Starr letter and an intereting coment it’s a sobering account for me of how *not* to act, ever.

And Google's market share is growing; a year ago, it was 36.5%. The same survey indicates that Americans conducted 6.6 billion searches online in April, up 4% from the previous month.

What will customers think when they find that you have dozens of profiles, but they are mostly inactive and un-updated? (Online marketing feels like a moving target.
