New Correspondents, A Wedding & Our Headlines On Google
==================================================

Search Engine Watch has always had two main audiences: search marketers and searchers. We want marketers to understand how to reach an audience through search engines. Equally important, we want that audience — the searchers — to know how to search better and to be kept informed of great new tools and features.

Having Gary Price on board was a huge help in better serving our searcher audience, since his background was as a librarian — you know, those human search engines that have helped people for thousands of years. Our readers know that Gary left us earlier this year. Now I’m happy to say that a librarian has rejoined the ranks of Search Engine Watch — Phil Bradley.

Phil’s background is as a librarian, and he’s been blogging and speaking about search resources for years. Now he comes aboard here as our searching correspondent. He’ll be posting items related to searching the web, new search engines and searching resources, all from the perspective of searchers who use these tools. Welcome, Phil!

Meanwhile, our very first correspondent Jennifer Slegg is now going double-barreled with a new title: paid search & contextual ads correspondent. Jen was previously our contextual ads correspondent, but now she’s also going to post on paid search and search advertising issues in general, such as with today’s great post on the coming of dayparting to Google AdWords.

If you’ve read about local search over the past few years, you know the name Greg Sterling. Greg was a long-time Kelsey analyst who covered the space and went out on his own last month. Greg’s now going to be posting here on local search items. Welcome, Greg!

If you’ve read about search marketing in general, you’ve come across Detlev Johnson’s name. Former moderator of the famed I-Search mailing list, Detlev jumped back into the world of search mailing lists by launching SearchReturn last year. Detlev’s now coming aboard here to help give Barry Schwartz and I a hand on those occasions when we both need to be away, as well as continuing to fill in for me occasionally on the Daily SearchCast.

Speaking of Barry, you might recall he gained his own little slice of search history by making the first known wedding proposal via search engine last year. Yisha said yes, and the two got married last week.

Congrats from all of us at Search Engine Watch to the happy couple! If you’d like to send your best wishes, pop by our Search Engine Watch Forums thread, Rustybrick Getting Hitched This Weekend!

We also have a sort of wedding gift for Barry. He’s now Search Engine Watch’s chief news correspondent, rather than being simply a plain old ordinary news correspondent. Barry did ask if he could be called “Superman,” which of course he is, but I didn’t think the title (like Superman himself) would fly.

As a reminder, if you’re trying to keep track of our SEW family, it’s pretty easy. Visit the Search Engine Watch Staff page! Eventually, I’ll get us all in a group photo 🙂

Lastly, there’s now a way to get headlines from Search Engine Watch right on Google, when you are doing searches. Our Get Our Search Headlines On Google! explains this more, or just click here to subscribe.
