Couldn’t Agree With This More

I couldn’t agree with this post about Google Knol more. Search Engines are search engines, not content producers.
July PR Update
Posted in Technology on Jul 25th, 2008
It seems that there is a pagerank update going on, Matt Cutts indicated that it was starting on his blog over here.
Thing is, for most people, it’s going to be a few days before they can see their new ranks. I’m actually not all that concerned about it, it’s just a number, but for those [...]
Google’s New Favicon?
Posted in Technology on Jun 4th, 2008
I’m not the first to notice this, nor will I be the last. However, notice it I did. :P
Google changed their favicon recently, to a tiny little g, while previously it was an uppercase G. Not that bigger change, and on most websites, it wouldn’t even have been noticed. This is Google, though.
I’m not sure [...]
As Always, Wordpress Surprises Everyone
Posted in Wordpress on May 31st, 2008
I just grabbed a copy of Wordpress 2.6 bleeding, and in doing so, caught up on all the new stuff that’s there, and all the little things that have been fixed. Unsurprisingly, Wordpress have added another cool feature into the mix, post revisions, which (as far as I know) nobody expected. It’s given Wordpress a [...]

Sorry Microsoft, But No.
Posted in Technology on Feb 9th, 2008
It appears that Yahoo will be rejecting the bid by Microsoft for it’s takeover, according to an article here.
The Journal source said the company would be unwilling to consider an offer below $40 per share, which would represent a $12 billion increase over Microsoft’s original $44.6 billion bid. It is unclear if Microsoft would be [...]
Microsoft + Yahoo = Google Killer? Somehow, I doubt it..
Posted in Technology on Feb 2nd, 2008
As most people know, Microsoft recently made a move to purchase Yahoo, saying that the general public needed an alternative to Google before it got too late, and I’m inclined to agree. Google does have total dominance at the moment, and some healthy competition wouldn’t be all bad ;)
However, some people have been saying that [...]
Is Google Taking Over?
Posted in Ramblings on Jan 5th, 2008
I’m starting to wonder if Google is getting too big. I mean, they collect information on everyone and everything, it’s pretty difficult to use the Internet at all without them picking up some sort of information about you, every time you view an Adsense banner, they collect information, and now that they own DoubleClick, there’s [...]
Further SEO-ing Your Wordpress Website / Blog
Posted in Tutorials on Jan 2nd, 2008
Everyone knows that Wordpress has some pretty awesome SEO capabilities, it supports meta tags, mod_rewrite to give you nice URLs, and it supports an excellent plugin that would enable you to get every single page on your installation indexed by Google, or any other search engine, not just the ones with links to them. I’m [...]
