Well, one thing Twitter’s good for: a little celebrity drama. According to a British tabloid quoting an American tabloid, singer John Mayer tweeted his way to a break up with Jennifer Aniston about the same time Ashton Kutcher posted a photo of Demi Moore’s heiney to TwitPics.

Celebrity news sites remain more popular than ever as the public's fascination with the latest gossip continues to see growth. Nielsen//NetRatings select sample of 19-celebrity gossip Web sites finds that audience growth increased 40 percent year over year in February. While gossip sites are seeing more traffic, visitors are also devouring more content with total Web page views increasing 108 percent during the same time period.

The top Google searches from the past week carry a sobering dichotomy of elation and sorrow as information seekers sought to join in the celebration of March Madness as well as take part in mourning the suicides of actor/comedian Richard Jeni and former Boston frontman Brad Delp.

A huge problem for many people who are working on market visibility and position is the amount of competition vying for the same market.
