An idea pops into your head while you’re working on something else. How do you get it down and get back to work? You could open a document and save the idea there, or quickly open your note-taking app of choice, but both of those things are going to take you out of whatever you’re […]

Spotify’s desktop and web apps have always been slick and full of helpful features (with more features being added all the time), but something they haven’t been is compact: To see what’s playing and control playback, you’ve had to open up the full interface for these programs, with third-party apps filling the need for something […]

Reddit moderators in the SEO channel continue to remove the responses that Danny Sullivan, Google’s Search Liaison, is posting in response to some SEO and Google Search-related questions.
