I just finished reading an article; mostly a rant; that made a pretty valid point, (in the midst of the rant).

When Google declared that its mission is to “organize the world’s information,” it didn’t take into account that its very existence would dramatically increase the amount of information in the world and make it harder for us to find what we need online.

Now, this could very well be argued right along side the “chicken & egg” debate.. and really, if Google didn’t exist.. wait, I think I just caused a spontaneous cosmic ripple in the Universe with that mere thought… but anyway..

If Google didn’t exist, would the amount of information on the Net be any less? hmm.. (think I’ll have eggs for breakfast).

Some people say/write things without thinking them all the way through. Me? I might think too much; but it gives me words to put on this page, you’re reading. (heh.. there’s method to my madness).

I don’t think we can seriously blame Google for the amount of crap on the Net. I mean, crap is crap and proliferates more crap; which causes us to wipe our mouths and flush our brains.. get up and say “ahhh..”. BUT, if we wanna just keep things simple and stay in suit with pointing the proverbial finger then .. YEAH! Google did it!!

..go figure, huh?

• Marketing or IT or IT Marketing Dealing with a Client lately made me think; as this Client has an "IT" contract with me but is continuously asking me questions that are more and more related to "Marketing". Of course I'm nice about my answers, but I gotta say that in the back of my head I'm......

• Reposting Made Me 1 Mealeeon Dollars! I just read about this program; (no, I’m not linking to it); that basically combs your archives for old posts and then reposts them. Supposedly, this has been coined, (by some), in the Internet Marketing niche as a way to appease the search engine Gods. ::cough:: Many arguments & opinions......

“You MY Bitch!” is basically what Zuckerberg and crew were told by their friends, after their announcement to change their TOS.

Took all of 36 hours for ZuckerMeister to recant the whole shpeel after gettin’ his asterik kicked all over the blogosphere. I think it took ‘em like a month to get their head outta their ads when they launched Beacon.

Seems the ambiguity of Internet law; and the blissful lack there of; has risen again. Gotta love it.

Free means Free, dammit!

• Google Phones Home Seems Google is on an expansion kick this year; as they’ve just released their Google Voice service. Google Calling - Forbes.com.

• Anybody Home?? For all those that actually read my ramblings, (hee hee), I have to apologize for staying silent for so long.

Thank the heavens I’m one of the lucky ones who has a significant other. Yet, all those people that are honestly and innocently spending their money on these dating sites.. unfortunately, I’ve got some disturbing news for you.

The screen shot I’m about to post here is from one of the top dating sites; I can’t divulge the name of the site for all the obvious reasons. But, chances are you’ve seen their ads on TV. I’m quite sure they never meant this to be found out; otherwise, they might just get sued for false advertising…

Notice anything? These five, (count ‘em), FIVE entries in a row are all the same person! C’MON, MAN!!

The graphic might be a little hard to read, but if you look closely you’ll see that each entry is for a different city. They didn’t even take the time to mix up the intro text!

Now, this is a paid site so there is absolutely NO way that ONE individual is going to pay for 5, (count ‘em again), FIVE different accounts. People need to be aware this is happening; that they’re paying their hard earned money and getting duped, like this.

This site obviously has a dedicated staff for the sole purpose of padding their member list. Now, I’m quite sure they never intended these entries to fall one after another like this, but when you do evil someone is bound to find you out.

All I can say is.. ONLINE DATERS BEWARE!!
