The end of 2008 was incredibly busy! It’s been a fabulous year, other than the crappy economy and its effects on everyone. It has been a very interesting year in terms of search news, and I have the feeling we’ll see some big changes in 2009. While it’s important to know where you’ve been to give perspective to where you’re going, I’m not going to write a retrospective or make bold predictions – lots of other people have done that already. But I do want to extend every best wish to all my friends, family and colleagues for 2009. May your new year be bright and shining and prosperous!
