You half-dozen or so regular readers of The Crossing have, no doubt, noted the dearth of posts over the past several weeks. This lack of writing stems from the fact that I have been extraordinarily busy with my new job and getting ready to move to the big city. I’m not complaining, mind you. I am enjoying every minute of this new adventure. I hope to start delivering some new stuff here over the next couple of weeks.
In the meantime, here are some interesting articles I found during the week of June 18-22, 2012 covering online marketing, SEO and social media …

Tuesday
- On the Official Google Webmaster Central Blog, Jonathan Simon shares a new feature in Google Webmaster Tools allowing for export of data to a spreadsheet in Google Docs.
