I am still working through updating the older articles. I just added in the TLDR in summary recently.

The source link from the category/taxonomy page goes to the original article. When you click on the title It goes to a post page that has an Optimixed TLDR and summary of the article with credits and links to the source. If you’re seeing something different, please send me a link.

Google Discontinues Controversial "Page Annotations" On iOS Google discontinues the Page Annotations feature, which diverted traffic from websites back to Google's search results.

HAHAHA Google silently ended their DISGUSTING "Page Annotations" forcibly injecting of search links onto people's sites. It was the most invasive, scummy, evil site injection scenario imaginable.

I admit I'm biased, but it's hard for me to agree with a post more than I agree with what Amanda has written here. We talk about brand authority more and more, as an industry, but are you putting it into action, defining it, and challenging how your marketing strategy builds your brand?
