Did you install the BlackBerry modem files in part 5 of Step 1? That's my first guess as to why you're not seeing it. Let me know if that fixes your problem.

There has recently been some success at getting Siri to run on an iPhone 4 and iPod touch, but they aren't releasing the hack to the public right now: http://www.tuaw.com/2011/10/29/siri-working-on-ip...

Siri is available in Canada, as I explained above. It's just turned off by default, also for reasons explained above.

I'm pretty sure you can just create one if it isn't there. Make sure you are looking in your all user library and not in the one in your user directory (/Library/Modem Files vs. ~/Library/Modem Files).

Thanks for the comment!

I'd say that's a pretty misguided position. The benefits of meta tags far outweigh the risk that someone is going to steal your keywords and then outrank you for them. If your competitors are savvy enough to do that, there's a good chance they can figure out your keywords all by themselves.

Agreed! It's better than nothing, but I'd love to see someone tackle making a real version of it.

They are definitely deprecated for their straight SEO value, but you shouldn\'t leave them blank. The description, for example, can often appear with your site on SERPs. It has also found a new purpose thanks to all of the social share widgets, which often use it as the default content they include when sharing (especially Facebook).

Matt — there\'s a difference between a sitemap for your site\'s visitors (human readable) and a sitemap.xml file for search engines (machine readable). Both will help with SEO in different ways.

In the case of the human sitemap, you can call it anything you\'d like and put it anywhere so long as it\'s linked to from other pages. The goal is to provide an overview of your site\'s major sections and pages to people and to help crawlers discover all the links to crawl.

The machine readable sitemap.xml needs to be called that and should go in the root level of your site (e.g.: http://jaygoldman.com/sitemap.xml). It has to be in XML format and should be submitted to the search engines through their webmaster tools. Google for \'sitemap.xml\' for more info.

Hope that helps!

Geoff — that\'s probably not true. Your device has already received the text and incurred the network access before you\'ve read it. Likewise, it had used some amount of data to download the email\'s \'envelope\' even if you haven\'t downloaded all of the content.

On the flipside — and this may be what that info was based on — you shouldn\'t be charged for a phone call if you don\'t answer it.

I completely agree - even with this 'fix' it's definitely not as good. It's only an extension away from bring as good though, so I challenge any devs reading this to build a better Omnibar for Chrome. Lots of people will love you for it! #lazyweb
