Google is rolling out promised changes to its search ranking system this week that will advantage mobile-friendly sites. "The changes," reports GeekWire, "will favor sites that avoid technologies like Flash that don’t work on phones, have layouts that automatically scale so that users don’t have to scroll side-to-side or zoom, and have links placed far enough apart that they can be easily tapped with a finger." Time for that responsive design!
