Lyft to start in New York (and why I don’t use Uber)

Lyft was my service of choice in San Francisco, so I was happy to read that we’ll be finally seeing Lyft cars in New York, specifically starting out in Brooklyn and Queens (though not without the expected barriers from the taxi commission).

Jeff Teague crosses over Evan Turner (GIF)

I’m a few months late on this, but Jeff Teague’s killer crossover on Evan Turner is worth re-posting even after three months and even if you haven’t already seen it.

SEO

What does ‘Co-Occurrence’ mean for SEO?

Though the SEO landscape has become a lot more complicated in recent years, unless you’re part of a digital marketing team or a savvy online business owner, 99% of people know very little about SEO outside of keywords and title tags.

SEO

Every NBA team has a strategy and plan of attack, but the the on-court play rarely ever resembles the play when it’s drawn up on the whiteboard. The San Antonio Spurs is the NBA team that comes closest to that ideal.
