I have been wondering if there is any truth in the myth that there aren’t many women working in the field of search engine optimisation (SEO), opting instead for jobs in Social Media (SM).

Taking a look around some of the articles that tackle this subject you would think it was taboo. Discussing the differences between men and women seems perfectly appropriate to me; the world of business has typically been dominated by men but this has been changing since the 60’s. In the ultra-modern world of the Internet it is important that women don’t get left behind, looking around at all the tech news, tech review, SEO, blog tips, hacker tricks etc they are all dominated by male writers.

It’s handbags at dawn as Fring and Skype start a war of words. The two firms have been using their blogs to attack each other.

It all started when Fring, issued a press release stating that Skype had threatened legal action if Fring did not stop its service. Fring has seen a huge demand from its users to expand its capacity to support video calling; Skype has put a stop to that. Skype are scared of other companies developing open mobile communications; Fring used the word ‘cowards’ to describe Skype’s behaviour.

Of course Skype had to defend its honour, Robert Miller shot back at Fring by saying that Skype did nothing of the sort. Mr Miller believes that Fring was using Skype in a way that it wasn’t designed to be used for (in fact breaking the API Terms of Use and End User License Agreement). Continue Reading »

It will be interesting to see how people actually take this on. The tool is called GOOGLE OPEN SPOT, and is the latest addition to Google Labs, and is to be used on the Android phones.
