well would you please elaborate the project competition between foursquare and facebook. I think that twitter would outgrow facebook…..though not much on foursquare. Your comment?

Well, the Meme conversation thing is already happening. On my end anyway – I have a lot of meme based conversations with my clients. Yep. I’m supposed to be a “pro” but this is the Internet and I want a cheeseburger (among other things).

Well, I look forward to your interview with Mr Cutts

Interesting predictions, and I’m curious to see what goes big in 2013! As a new FourSquare user, I agree that Yelp! should be nervous. For the mobile payment, I feel these past couple of years everyone keeps predicting it will be “the next big thing”. Still hasn’t happened yet. Maybe 2013 is year of mobile payments? I do love my Starbucks mobile payment option.

Sorry guys, bit late on this conversation.

I’m starting to see more meme commenting show up on facebook messages, using the techniques described here: http://techcrunch.com/2011/12/25/facebook-custom-emoticons/

Interested to see if it’ll get bigger, and looking forward to your post on de-pagination AJ.

Like I said Stuart, I pretty much skip Infographics during my morning RSS routine. I can’t stomach most of them.

Anchor text is a smaller issue for me, though clearly it can be abused. I’m just fed up with people thinking that a few pieces of data means they should create an Infographic. There is a place for Infographics but only under very limited circumstances in my view.

Thanks Harris. I agree that structured data will continue to be important in 2013. And I share your view that Highlighter shows that Google is eager to increase adoption and to level the playing field.

Google was last to the rich snippets party in large part due to the fact that they didn’t want technology-savvy sites to benefit unfairly over those with less technology skills. For years Google has worked to extract structured data from regular make-up but Highlighter is clearly an indication that Google is hungry for more.

Health, wealth and happiness to you and your loved ones in 2013.

I thought infographics already jumped the shark! :/

The problem I have with inforgraphics is the link anchors rarely look natural. And… this can cause problems with ranking issues.
