Why, for example, is Thunderbird so "pushed" as an optimal E-mail "service." I have downloaded several versions of it over the past few years and have found each one terrible. The only E-mail "service" that makes any sense to me in terms of user friendly handling and reliability is G-mail.
I used to use Yahoo mail and for every valid entry into my inbox, I would also receive about 1-3 pieces of spam, usually link to porn sites. It used to drive me crazy no matter what settings I would select. Quite honestly, I don't think I have received one piece of spam porno or aluminum siding advertisements since I began using G-mail. That benefit alone has saved me thousands of seconds of productivity time.
Technorati and the entire SEO universe is so foreign to most internet users. How and why Google sorts this and that website or blog is a layman's mystery. And, along with HTLM code, SEO is a process that needs much explaining. It, right now, is like the IRS tax code. The old expression, never defend yourself in court, applies. If you want to see your name up in lights, so to speak, and get the #1 position - on top - when someone searches for what you do, hire a pro.
