    At work we have something called "Power Hour"

    We spend an hour learning something new in our industry and then have to share it with everyone else.

    I work for a Search Engine Marketing Agency.

    Give me your advice on what is interesting in the industry today...

    Thanks,
    Brett

    I am not sure what you already know, but I will recommend you look at some YouTube.com videos. I have picked up all kinds of interesting info there just by watching and listening :). What's the last thing that was revealed in your power hour session?

    I know quick a bit(no ebrag :) ) but I was thinking something up and coming or something new that isn't utilized very much but has huge potential.

    Just off the top of my head I was thinking about the "web 3.0" stuff. But I want to know what you all think.

    "the Power Hour" is actually new this week so nothing was revealed last week, but I will update what happens this week :)

    I don't know if it is an upcoming success, it has been pretty successful in 2008. But I will definitely read more about it.

    The safest bet in this Economy, online or not, is in the Entertainment Industry. Like Hollywood Celeb blogs, Media Tube sites, Move & Video Game reviews and Reality TV.

    How about the potential impact that Google Chrome will have on SEO, changing how users behave online?

    There are lots of things I can live without. Google Chrome is one of them. Notice how they did NOT write the paragraph heading in bold when it got down to the privacy section?? no thx.

    I am of the opinion that video (Youtube) marketing of a site has truly come of age.. if it's done right a video that has very little to do with your product can drive 100's if not 1000's of hits every day to your site. Many don't convert, but many do and it can get your name out there for very very little effort.

    Just a DP Grunts opinion and not really off topic
