If your going to quote items from mashable at least say so, and just copying and pasting is a bit lame, whats your thoughts on this?
Personally im looking forward to the HP version with windows 7 and multiple webcams on it.

"Well yes of course your only on the 3rd page, what? didnt anybody tell you? youve only been paying for SEO!, if you actually want any visitors you have to pay for SEM too! - dont worry, your lucky we just havent thought of what the acronym SEZ can stand for yet, but we'll be sure to charge for that too when we do!"

i think theres a very grey line...

I agree,
personally (and that does mean just my opinion), i would be more inclined to class link building as SEO as it is directly affecting your sites rankings without human interaction.

I suppose the marketing side i would generally look more towards human interaction....

I can see your mind ticking over link baiting next...

Sorrry if the above post was a bit of a ramble, was just an example of what I consider to be SEM rather than SEO, although that debate can go on forever im sure. Im always facinated though at how we can influence search engines without them noticing or without even being online.

in another forum someone commented on this situation and said - "its not like search engines can read billboards etc" - which is very true, although, anyone noticed a google streetview car driving round lately "trying to"?? :-) lol

Touch screens have been around for so long its untrue, even the new ipad isnt a new concept, just that its a newer fresher look and of course a mac and marketed to the ipod generation.
have a look at the panasonic toughbook, its a really robust laptop that you may have seen your gas engineer whip out, they have the standard laptop features, but you can swivil the screen round and close it flat, then just use the screen as a touchpad, no keyboard required.
personlly, touch screen technology has come along way, but still has a lot further to go before we start taking it really seriously.

Id imagine trying to balance it was probably why she was up on the pavement, so guessing a little got away

My sister once lost her driving license for drink driving her scooter, with a passanger on the back, with no helmet, holding a bottle of jim beam, on the pavement, down the centre of brighton high street!
I wouldnt normally say any of my family were brought up white trash...

I think there does need to be some integration between the two, theres the sort of relationship designers have with developers, its ok to try and be both, but to try be one without the other is just a big mistake.
My favorite example of SEM effecting SEO is tv adverts where the large organisations no longer say go to our website "www dot" ..... but instead tell you to google a word. this doesnt just mean google thinks people associate a particular website with a word, anyone can do that, but with personalised search results now, you can type in a product range and the brand you googled earlier could appear above it in your results depending on your previous activity.

personally I use twitter for a few clients, some are harder than others to get followers on but they have all seen a good improvement from traffic because of it. If you want links back then put some link bait out there...
