Fridays come so quickly around here, especially when Rand's been in Munich.┬? Nonetheless, we've got a story and we're stickin' to it: new Whiteboard Friday videos EVERY Friday!

This week, as a follow up to this morning's blog post, Rand discusses a great example of Meta Description Tags as the big lure on the SERPS.

PS - As you'll notice, we've switched hosts again (to YouTube this week). There were some registration and RSS bugs with iFilm that have been a bit annoying. Let me know how the stream speed and quality is with YouTube since I'd really like to decide on a permanent home for these Vidcasts.
