by Claudine Zap If you dropped $240,000 on a car, you'd at the very least expect the brakes to work, right? Well, meet Ralph Gertz , proud owner of an orange 2008 Lamborghini Gallardo Spider convertible. He bought the hot little number with less than 50 miles on it from a Washington state dealership . But right off the lot, every time the driver hit the brakes, the Lambo squealed and screeched. Gertz said he brought it back to the dealership,

Back in March, Google updated its mobile image search but just for iPhone and Android devices. Now, Google says just about every feature phone in 38 languages is getting the update . The update includes larger thumbnail images as well as search filters. Something to know about the results is that when you click on an image, it takes you to a detail page on Google image search instead of to the page where the image is hosted.

If a new blog post at TechCrunch is true (and that's generally about a 50/50 chance), then Bing has struck yet another search deal - this time with Wolfram Alpha. According to the rumor, Bing would make use of Wolfram Alpha to incorporate structured data to its search offering. Hmm, who else is going after structured data?

by Mike Krumboltz Back in 1997, James Cameron made a wee film you may have heard of called " Titanic ." The movie lived up to its grandiose title, becoming the biggest, most financially successful film ever and winning a boatload of awards along the way. But that was 12 years ago, and Mr. Cameron hasn't directed a movie since. This December, the wait comes to an end ... with "Titanic 2: Jack's Revenge." Kidding. Actually,

Today I had the great privilege of meeting with Bing Director Stefan Weitz and local search marketers here in Raleigh, NC. There was a consensus that Bing had a better conversion rate - by far. But there's a couple things still holding search marketers back: volume, adCenter, and agency relations. The volume of traffic sent by Bing is just so small compared to Google and Yahoo!
