Flirting With Self-Promotion

I've never really promoted this blog - in terms of trying to increase readership. After all, it's not a business endeavor so what's the point?

But after realizing that some Morons out there with mediocre blogs are getting more hits than me....I've decided to see what I can do about it.

Some of these *blog gurus* swear by using all the latest web innovations to drive traffic. While I'm not ready for Headbook and Twitter, I figured I'd give indexing my blog in Technorati a whirl. (Even though I don't know a single person who uses it!)

It took nearly a full week to get my freakin' blog indexed on the site. What a pain in the butt!

I'm expecting a whopping 10 more hits a day...

Google Gobbling, Again

Man these things happen fast. I just heard about Twitter a couple of months ago. Now it's all everyone is talking about. I'm sure Google deprecated it at first, just like me, just like they pooh-poohed YouTube before that gobbled that one up.

Hah, what do ya know!

Google did dismiss Twitter recently, calling it "A poor man's email system" according to this PC World article.

This rumored move by Google, like the YouTube one, reaks of *defensiveness*.

A billion bucks doesn't sound like a lot. I'd think that Microsoft would also be willing to pay that much for upstart Twitter.

Me, as of now I have no plans to *Tweet* - though I did think about tweeting all of my nasty bodily functions if for no reason other than to mock these clowns who've nothing better to do than indulge in such rank voyeurism!

Man, has it really been 2.5 years since Google bought YouTube?
