Three Minds On Digital Marketing @ Organic

Now the big, big news story this week was the developments surrounding the #IranElection, at its peak bringing in more than 220,000 Tweets Per Hour. But the new and profound impact of the tool Twitter is much too large for this article, which is why Bridget was kind enough to have written something specifically about it.

Old Rivals, New Rivals: What Happened This Week?
While Microsoft and Google have been battling it out for a while... who could woo Yahoo!, who would own the world of online documents (Google Docs or Office Live). But, now the battle has a new twist called Bing. While they will likely not overtake Google any time soon, Bing's traffic and buzz keeps growing. For a Microsoft launch, it is refreshingly positive, and that has Google shaking.

Next... it seems as though the Facebook saga has closed a chapter, and opened a new one. As MySpace slashes much of its staff (signaling the end?), Facebook readies a rival to Twitter Search. Facebook continues to grow, not just getting bigger, but reaching out to an older demographic. Over 1 Billion chat messages are sent per day, and over the weekend close to 6 million people registered custom usernames.

Oh yeah... and then there was something about a new phone coming out this week :)
