Hi Dustin,

Thanks for reading and excellent points! It should be interesting to see if the Google Caffeine update changes (it probably will) when the updates are live…

Hey Nick,
Thanks for the post on Caffeine. I read Andy Beal’s article as well and I understand what you’re saying about social media maybe being dialed up too high. I think from a relevancy perspective though the Caffeine results are better. I would argue that with his constant Twittering, Andy Beal’s Twitter profile is actually more relevant to a search for Andy Beal since the subject of tweets is technically “What are you doing?”.

It is my understanding that the focus of Marketing Pilgrim is Marketing and not Andy Beal so it shouldn’t be the first result. The telling question is whether a search for Marketing Pilgrim returned Andy’s Twitter profile first instead of the Marketing Pilgrim blog. If that were the case then social media is definitely dialed too high.
Interesting discussion and I think its great that Google is opening up the process to some extent.
Dustin
