  MSNBowling in Canada
I know there's some friendly folks over in Redmond who like to read SEOmoz, so I'll make this as short and painless as possible. The MSN search engine currently uses link neighborhoods to judge if a .com site is targeted internationally (like, say - to Canada). So, if lots of links point at your .com site from .ca domains hosted in Ottawa, even if you want to be targeting the ... 
 
    
    
  
  
  Atlas Maps - An Impressive Alternative
Although it takes a little while to load, Fresh Logic Studios' Atlas map system is pretty amazing. The application allows for worldwide directions, zooms in with incredible detail and has a very spiffy interface.

  Resource Shelf from Gary Price
How can one man blog so much? Acutally, the last time I hung out with Gary, he was whipping through data sources and maps and census information and a thousand sites I had barely enough time to jot down (despite spending almost an hour in front of his laptop in the San Jose speaker ready room). Gary is seriously obsessed with culling information and finding the latest in data aggregatio...
