Happy New Year everyone!  The new decade is being ushered in with the onset of Google Caffeine, but does not have a debut date just yet.  According to Official Wire, Caffeine is actually just a souped-up version of the Google we already know- with faster speed, emphasis on real-time search results and slight changes to the way Google indexes websites.  It is imperative; however, that websites stay up-to-date in order to maintain relevancy in the search results.  Things like blogs, press releases, social media, etc. will need to be integrated into your business marketing and maintained with the introduction of Caffeine.  Most users might not notice a difference in their web results, but “keeping websites fresh through regular updates will be important to ensure that they are crawled by Caffeine” (Crisafi).
