Ok, so someone was making a bit of a hoop-la about Guy Kawasakis new aggregator site; allTop (hee hee Hiya K). I went over to have a look and well
. seeing the SEO Category - some problems with it jump right out at me; 
- I am not on it, lets get that out of the way
major problem (bwaha ha haha, but seriously :)
- Matt Cutts? When is the last time that guy wrote consistently about SEO? Whaaaa?
- ShoeMoney? Howd he get in there? He even says he doesnt know a ton about SEO.
- John Batelle? Whaaaaaa?? I have him in my reader
mini-posts, not much search, never mind SEO.
- ThreadWatcher? Last post August of 2007?
- Performancing
erm
love em, but not a lot of SEO stuff.
- SEO Contest 2008 ?? Nuff said
- Cross-over there is a lot of PPC/SEM/SMM cross-over. It does say SEO there (yeah being picky). Make separate categories or rename this one.
-
..and of course,once again
I am not on it , but more importantly neither are other actual quality folks like Michael Martinez, Weip Knoll, Debra Mastaler, Jill Whalen
U get the idea... I'd trade in some of the above for those fine folks.(now added see below)
My point is that while some of them are debate-able, there are omissions more worthy than some of those on the list. So while it is a nice list there Guy, Id be looking at a few of the suspect choices as it comes off as the usual popularity contest more than a true desire to deliver quality resources. Also, maybe re-name it to SEM if you want to keep the cross over stuff, it simply muddies things more than they are already. Pffffttt!! I guess I will just have to come up with my own list then
so there. Gonna take my marbles and go home
waaaaaaaahhhh
(or maybe not since Guy is so accomodating ;0)
hee hee...*sigh*
. Just my 2 cents on a Monday morning. ADDED: Ok, seems someone passed my sour whine out to the web-o-sphere and Guy has graciously given in to my nag. Thanks Guy for adding some more of our great minds (above) and even considering this rider for inclusion in the posse :0) --- Trail Badge Added, but I still get to wine

Almost by accident I started a series here on the Fire Horse Trail that is dedicated to highlighting and sharing exposure for some of the young grinders in the SEO world for all to enjoy. It began innocently enough as I had asked Gabriel (SEO ROI) if he wanted to pimp his wares over here and then once more when Jordan (Utah SEO Pro) dropped by to play. I then realized a few of the other folks I was talking to were of the temporally disadvantaged variety. The  wheels were in motion
You see, the reason this place has some eastern influence (Huo Mah = Fire Horse) is because I spent more than twenty years as a student and teacher in the martial arts, it has always been a passion of mine. One of the tenets is that one should always seek to preserve their art form by passing it along (responsibly) to the next generation. I thought to myself that I had a unique and valuable opportunity to try and support the younger set in any way I could to continue the tradition into my latest passion in life; Search Engine Optimization. People actually read this Blog?Well, not many really, but what platform I do have here I am more than happy to share with some young energy that may just brighten up the place. The first two instalments are in and I have added a Young Guns of SEO navigation to the left hand panel. In the coming weeks I shall be having some more guest riders along to regale us with tales of excitement and edu-tainment of the trails they have been taking in their young careers. If you know a young SEO that would be worth looking at, let me know. Not a Youngster but still looking for a chance to get your name out there? Not a problem, the ever entertaining and always amazing Dazzing Donna is taking entries for up and comers of all ages; Check it out!
Until Next time
stay tuned.

Microsoft and Rand Team up to Squash the SEO IndustryLast time I heard the powers that be in search engine land told us that manipulating the rankings is a no-no. In many ways, much of what SEO is about has never been looked on favourably by search engines. They certainly have some guidelines and the ever popular Terms of Service but ultimately there has been a them against us feel in the game over the years.  So, when I heard the Microsoft was getting into the Search Engine Optimization biz
. I had to rub my eyes.
Yup...thats right, I give you the; Microsoft ISV SEO Program
WTF did he just say?You heard me
and I have to wonder if were crossing some line here. Rise to the Top - Improve your search-engine rankings and start attracting more sales leads to your company's website. Contact Microsoft today to request details on how to sign up. One could argue that it may legitimatize SEO, but then if all the engines did, what stops the ultimate creep into paid placement in the organic search results? I decided to download the PDF of services and some tidbits sure do seem interesting; let us review together shall we?

For those of you whom hadnt picked up on it yet
. It seems Microsoft is actively seeking to try and take-over Yahoo. This should be a very interesting ride if you ask me. As the saga moves along I shall keep posting updates to this post. .... this all takes me back to when I said that Google would battle Microsoft for World Domination Stay Tuned
