After nearly two weeks on the road, I will be back in my office tomorrow.
After a great deal of reflection, I have decided to take a different course than the one I have been on for the last ten years.

July 24, 2010Twitter Search Name Results
July 23, 2010I noticed a different type of search result in Twitter today.
Twitter Searches Name Results
In this example, it appears Twitter determines which Comic Con accounts are being searched most often and then displays those accounts atop their list of search results.

Google WAP Mobile Ads Locations Routed By Mobile Area Codes?
July 20, 2010I have been traveling over the last several days and I’m now about 1,000 miles from my home.
Today I ran a search in Google on my iPhone for some keywords I bid on in my local market and noticed my ads were still being displayed even though I had set my ads distribution parameters for my home state only.
Either Google WAP Mobile Ads are being distributed nationally regardless of the geographic targeting settings or my iGoogle account and phone settings are signaling Google my physical location is still in my home state and thus justify delivery to my smartphone.
Any ideas which factor is causing this?
Update: After further testing, I determined my iGoogle settings – which were personalized to my home city/state – even while in use on my iPhone trumped the physical location of my smartphone for what type of geotargeted ads were available for delivery. After signing out of my iGoogle account on my iPhone, Adwords is now delivering locally targeted ads based on where I am not where my iGoogle account says I am.
