TheLisa: Bringing Your Voice To Your Blog
Guest post by Lisa Barone.Last week millions of people used their voices to elect Barack Obama the first African American president of the United States.

But, as Jeff explained to me, most of us are thrown so much information in one day that we simply don’t have enough time to read it all.

I have come across quite a few long tail, non-competitive search queries as of late that have actual individual utterances from platforms such as Twitter and FriendFeed in their top ten results.
