Sometimes to show a site in the search results Google uses page title and description as it appears on Open Directory Project (ODP), not from the site itself. This was a problem for many site administrators, including myself, as they could not change their sites title in Google listings. Now Google gave us a solution. To direct Google from using ODP to describe a page, use the following meta tag in the header of your page:
<meta name="GOOGLEBOT" content="NOODP" />
It may take some time for changes to your page to appear, once Google recrawles your site.

On Sep 9-10 PodCamp – a free meetup for podcasters, bloggers, authors and readers – will be held in Boston. Our client Leesa Barnes will be presenting on several topics, including a 5 minute lightning talk about using WordPress and podPress to publish podcasts. This talk is the result of our recent work when we together found out about nice podPress features and its drawbacks in distributing podcasts.
Interestingly that PodCamp organizators used a free wiki and a free blog to advertise and present the information about the conference. Yet another good example of using free open source components and word-of-mouth marketing to cut costs on advertising and promoting ideas/products/services.
