Hey all! Sorry it's been awhile since my last post. Seems a little subtle for me to say that I've had a crazy ride these past several days, but I have definitely had a busy schedule. But now that I'm back, it appears we have some things to discuss. The first consisting of subscriptions to RSS Feeds. (Seems a little familiar, don't you think?) Well, I guess we'll go ahead and jump on into it!
First, I'd like to say that I think Google has seriously taken over the world. I mean, we use Google for everything. At least I do, anyway. But here, I used Google Blog Search to look up things with the word, "Pineapple." Okay, so I know that's an odd thing to look up, but I've had this long lasting urge to eat pineapple. And I can thankfully say that by typing in that one word, I found a variety of blogs talking about pineapple: how to cut pineapple, how to cook with pineapple, and how to dye pineapple among other things. Google is seriously, the best ever.
Next, I tried Technorati.com. All I have is four words for you: What in the world? I typed in the same search word "pineapple." But what did I find? Moby-dork. What is moby-dork, you say. Well I have absolutely no clue what the heck "Moby-dork" is. And I don't have any idea as to what it has to do with the birds and the bees. (I know you're lost. But at least you know how I feel whenever the search results came up.)
Clearly since Technorati was confusing, I thought I would try Topix.net. I must be the only person to not know the relevance of a pineapple to the Academy Awards. Is it their symbol or something? Regardless, I typed in "pineapple" and BAM! I got all of the information I have ever wanted to know about the Academy Awards.
This was an interesting exercise. And I am probably not the first person to tell you this, but Google is where it's at. I'm not kidding. Technorati was awful on me. And Topix.net seemed awfully irrelevant to what I was looking for. (Clarksville Singles and Dating? No thanks.) So for the rest of my life, I hope I have Google to lean on.
Yours,
TPlummer
