Join For FreeLeading today, VentureBeat reports on the quiet launch of Google’s Cloud Source Repositories. This seems like something we should have heard more about, but I don’t remember seeing anything about it. Amazon AWS announces the availability of all things Alexa, the Skills Kit, the Voice Service and a Fund. Last but not least, we have AJ Kohn, from Blind Five Year Old, talking about click-through rate being a ranking signal on Google’s search results. I don’t talk about SEO much, but reading AJ’s work is always fascinating.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
