The “Jim takes a victory lap around the maypole of digital rights” edition.
Net Neutrality Rules!
The FTC is moving forward to classify the Internet as a public utility! By reclassifying ISPs as common carriers, the FTC has effectively mandated all signals must be given the same digital priority regardless of origin or content. This means the tradition of Net Neutrality continues except now it’s a law.

This might get me in trouble with my peers in the online marketing industry but I need to share a truth with you all. Most of the work done in digital marketing is really quite simple. From the creation of a website to the propagation of Ad-groups, web applications are designed to make input and modification as easy as possible. This blog and much of the technology that supports it is infinitely simpler to use than the technology we used two decades ago, at the beginning of my career.
It gets complicated when you realize that the panoply of digital marketing channels, each of which is relatively easy enough to enter, affect each other in subtle and often profound ways. Digital marketing gets even more complicated when you consider there are hundreds of millions of other people working the Web, some of which are competing for the attention of the same groups of consumers across some or all of those same marketing venues. To further complicate what should be easy, each marketing venue has different user habits, terms-of-service rules, widely ranging audiences, and where one might work for one type of product or service it might not work for another. There’s a lot of time and money to be spent figuring out which one does which to what and when.
Suddenly, the idea of digital marketing became quite complicated again. Though the various interfaces are easier the over all environment is far more challenging now than ever before. That’s why a market developed from which a professional cadre of webmasters practice search and social media marketing. It is our job to make the extremely complex understandable and easier.

We discussed Google Chrome’s new non-https warnings for users who visit an unsecured site, a major WordPress security concern for users of the RevSlider Premium Plugin, and Bing’s prediction 2015 would be the “year of wearable technologies”.
Here’s a breakdown of the other big stories from 2014:
