Google is super fast these days updating the SERPs. The sad news of John Glenn (RIP) passing has already been updated on Wikipedia and reflected in the SERP’s. However, the knowledge graph box on the right side, also based on Wikipedia, is not reflecting the changes on the John Glenn Wikipedia page.

Lately, I’ve been impressed with the way KLM as an airline has embraced internet technology, especially social media networks, in their user experience flows. The way these services drive added values for customers is innovating, and speaks to the mindset the national airline of my home country is thinking. Back in 2013, I was happy […]
