It would be more helpful if this information could be posted in this blog as opposed to a seminar.
This blog is not updated nearly enough - this is where that valuable information should be archived.
Think of how much more good it could do and how many people could use it?????
Great to see more search related tracks in there. Looking forward to many of these sessions.
