Reddit Redesigns the Redesign Based on User Feedback

I talked with Alexis, co-founder of reddit, and got a few updates on the status and changes to the redesign efforts on Reddit.com.

Currently expected to launch sometime next week, if no further bugs or issues are discovered, the Reddit community has been vocal in what they like and hate about the new designs. Since the release earlier this month on May 7th, 2008, there have been a few more changes, as of today, to the design over at http://beta.reddit.com.

Reddit Eliminates “Advanced Search” Feature

I am not sure if anyone noticed or not, but Reddit.com has removed the advanced search option from it’s site. I used to use advanced search strings like “(site:brentcsutoras.com)” to check if anyone had submitted my posts to Reddit.

Every good party needs a cause… no?

Actually, every good party needs a great mix of people and free booze. Thanks to the members of the Internet Marketers of New York and the free drinks provided by their sponsors Best of the Web, there will be at least one good party everyone should attend during the SES conference in New York.

IM-NY and BOTW, will be putting on their 3rd Charity event on Tuesday, March 18. It will be at the Black Finn NY 218 East 53rd Street (map) from 8pm-Midnight with a $40 entrance fee that will go completely to charity.

Google Indented Results… From a Different Domain?

Google uses an indented result as when it finds multiple results from the same website, the most relevant result is listed first, with other relevant pages from that site indented below it. At least most of the time.

On occasion, I do a few vanity searches on keywords I want to rank for. I was searching “Social Media Consulting” on Google today, and noticed something odd with my result. Google gave me an indented result… from a different site.
