The real story is that the global monthly search total includes those through every Google property, such as Google.com, Google.co.uk, Google.co.in, etc… The challenge is that Google includes some pretty localized factors when it ranks websites in these “local&# search engines.

As a software developer I want things in neat little boxes. Just as I go to my friend who’s a brilliant SQL developer to help me with my HAVING clause, I want to go to a marketing genius and have him/her tell me the exact steps I need to take to begin converting visitors to paying customers. I want solid answers.

The knowledge that you need 10,000 hours to master a subject, that certain trends become viral after the 412th person adopts it, or that you should make your product remarkable, is not going to help you launch. Nor will it save you a single minute during product development, or sell one more copy of your application.

This literally the dumbest, most ignorant piece that I’ve ever read about software development and/or hiring programmers. I am the VP of Engineering at a cutting-edge startup that sells software built on the.NET platform. It’s like arguing against vertical software. Look what happened to Gawker.
