The Hawkeye State Caucus Results Certified: Rick Santorum Finishes Ahead Of Mitt Romney - and my other favourite links of the day

So, it's time for another links roundup. A look at most of the most interesting links of the day. We'll be talking about Kohl's, Google and Facebook and the sites that have covered them.

So, who's been talking about YouTube? It was www.marketingpilgrim.com with their post entitled Amazon Retains Top Spot In Customer Service Poll, Zappos Third.

YouTube
YouTube: YouTube is a video-sharing website, created by three former PayPal employees in February 2005, on which users can upload, view and share videos.

.

What did they say about YouTube? They said:
The question you have to ask is how would Zappos position in this survey change based on recent events?
and went on to say
Did they handle it well enough to keep tier 3rd place position? Were any of those 9,300 participants in the voting part of the 24 million accounts that Zappos asked people to change their passwords for?


Next up we have a site that's been talking about Facebook - Brazilian Nightclub Lets You Party Like a Facebook User [VIDEO].

They said:
The physical and virtual worlds collided in the Amazon jungle this week - where a nightclub opened sporting the Facebook name and logo
... sounds interesting ...
"The Facebook concept is about sharing ideas, adventures, friendships, parties and photos with your friends," the club's 30-year-old founder Humbert Camacho told the UK Guardian. "So what we wanted to do was to build a nightclub with this concept, where people could come and share things with their friends, spend a cool night, sharing pictures, experiences and have fun."


Finally we have Apple's Siri Patent Reveals Even Brighter Future from www.webpronews.com, focussing on Apple Inc. They had some interesting points to make, particularly
Very recently the United States Patent and Trademark Office published the patent from Apple's Siri digital assistant service
and
The details of the patent reveal some interesting concepts about the design and theory of the interface. The information now has many speculating about where the technology is planned to go in the future
