Shownotes Episode 12 - November 5th 2009

Twitter lists
Twitter introduced Twitter lists in which you can make specific lists of people you follow to let other people follow that list. Is it useful? What can this mean for SEO? How does it work?

3rd part:

Turkish government wants 32 million from Google
The Turkish government claims it has to get 32 million euros from Google for taxes Google never paid. Google uses the Ireland-route, but is that legal?

Geocities becomes Reocities
Last week Geocities closed its doors for good. You can no longer use Geocities. Dutch developer Jacques Mattheij couldn't accept that. So he started copying and scraping Geocities. Within ten days he copied most of Geocities' content and replaced them on Reocities.
