Someone screwed up! Man has it been a great week to watch the internet meltdown! We have politicians being accused of sexual misconduct, thermostats malfunctioning, domains for some of the biggest companies being taken offline by tiny little companies nobody has heard of and more! First We Feast As many of my close friends will tell you, I am obsessed with spicy foods and am a pepper snob of sorts... Or, at least that's the nice way of putting it. Other people might describe me as something other than simple a snob, but I digress! Well, I also enjoy watching First We Feast  on YouTube! There's something so satisfying about watching famous people suffer while eating spicy wings that just does it for me!

As most of us even in sma

Sliding under the radar with new features A seemingly unannounced new feature has hit Google's Business tool for businesses leverage Google Maps and Google Search . While creating a post on behalf of newly launched website for The Red Eye Bakery this morning I was prompted with this dialogue for the first time. [caption id="attachment_587" align="alignnone" width="150"] Google Search Post[/caption]   This is a pretty awesome new feature for business owners who want to drive more traffic to search and maps on their behalf, as well as enabling the ability to really create useful/meaningful posts without having to recreate or copy and paste them multiple times!

People still fall for African Prince email scams, and they still panic when the "IRS" calls them with an "urgent message". So why, in 2018, small business owners still believe Google is calling them to verify their already verified Google Business listing blows my mind. Let me be blunt with you, taken verbatim from Google's own Safety Center  "Google does not make unsolicited sales calls from an automated system . However, we may place automated phone calls to your business, as a service to Google users, for non-sales tasks like making reservations or confirming your business hours .
