From an SEO perspective, you need to understand how a site operates in order to better optimise it for the search engine crawlers. Ajax generated contents online are largely not indexed by the search engines, and although this is likely to change in the future, the use of Ajax to generate content that is intended to be indexed by the search engines is not recommended at present − this is a classic example of search engines holding back the progress of the web.

No one would argue with the fact that the new Apple Ipad looks great but there seems to be very little use for it so far. Well, not anymore!

Google’s Acquisition of ITA signals its intention to expand its "Travel" search vertical but it is also an attempt to assert its dominance and raise the barrier to entry for up and coming and even well established search engines such as Bing which currently relies on the ITA software for its travel search results.

Google announced a few days ago it had teamed up with Intel, Sony and Logitech to release the Google TV platform which should be available towards the end of the year as a set-top box to connect to existing TVs or as a built-in feature for new TV sets and Blu-Ray players. I for one I am very excited about this latest development and I believe Google TV is set to revolutionise the way we watch TV and use the internet.
