He’s Baaa’ack! Play Super Santa Rider 2 on the Acquisio Website!

Last year our little Holiday game Super Santa Rider drew well over 1 million visits. This year we want 2 million visits (hence Super Santa Rider 2). This time, we added game play elements that will make the game much more interesting. Now you have to watch out for flying rudolphs, and try to catch mid-air boosts, we added “incoming” power boost and rudolph alerts so you can plan your movements a little more – making the game much less random, And we improved the security on the high score module, so only losers with too much time on their hands should be able to cheat.

The Evolving Google Results Page & How It May Affect Our Perception of Search

This month those of us who work in the search industry, and I suspect more than a few investors, were passing around a cookie string that altered the way Google’s results pages were displayed:

As ugly as it may be to some traditionalists, the three column layout is a more intuitive “web site” shape, and is going to be intuitive to use for a wide variety of users. This push comes from Marissa Mayer at Google, the VP of Search Product and User Experience, as it is outlined by Danny over at Search Engine Land.
