I must be crazy

I'm so sick and tired of the holidays. I need a break so I'm probably going out in the backyard and sacrafice a chicken.....


a Colonel Sanders type chicken!

LOL

Censorship! Censorship!

After posting the previous note, I read it and realized the blog nazi's would probably take offense at even the suggestion that the root cause of the problem is the search engines themselves.

If a mechanically or auto generated posting blog is not protected, then why should a search engine, which is nothing more that an auto generated spidering program be any more protected? Answer... MONEY! and the fact that a multi million dollar company apparently has more rights than a human citizen. (oh no! would this be considered HATE speech because I don't agree with the big corporate structure??)

And then there's the; "Everyone has rights group" that will probably cry censorship. Well, Google happens not to have any problem with radically stepping on the rights of individual Chinese citizens and providing filtering of their Google searches. Why not remove the trash from America's search results?

Fact is that everyone censors what is used. Unless we all desire to live in a cesspool of garbage and filth for the benefit of a few, we need and use a certain amount of censorship in our everyday lives.

Many hosting companies, Search engines and others state that they will not support (provide services to) sites that encourage "HATE." What "hate" is is never defined but apparently it's not the objectification of women, the illegal trafficking of pharmaceuticals into the US from Canadian pharmacies, providing minors with online access to tobacco and other cancer causing products, or advertising online gambling which is expressly illegal in most of the US.

No instead, the search engines or those wonderful corporate entities of keeping of all that is good and righteous, just prefer to beat the little guy making sites and trying to get noticed. This way they can continue to make money off of the filth while holding others to a much higher standard than themselves.

There's a search engine who has a mission statement about no doing evil. We should really get a definition from them about what they consider evil.

Thanks for all the fish.

So the search engines cry foul!

So the search engines, arguably the most important and significant presence on the web are crying about Blog SPAM. Oh yes, folks, Blogger has added human intervention gates and blog nannies to review blogs in an attempt to limit auto generated blogs.

The web media is up in arms about blog SPAM! Oh, these terrible people are using our pristine Blogging world to pollute with their vile commercial ads and links to other sites?
Say what?

Yep, people are actually using blogs to get their message about products and new sites? Oh, the horror!
Say what?

Yep. People put links on their blogs to encourage people to click on them and visit their sites?
Well actually...

People with newer sites create blogs and use auto posts to place links to the new sites.

But you say...
What can we do about so much of this garbage?

The problem is NOT the people trying to make their sites known. The problem is actually with the search engines themselves. It's the search Engines that are slow to index newer sites but focused on indexing blogs. If an owner would know that their site would be spidered and indexed within a reasonable time, there would be NO NEED TO CREATE the SPAM BLOGS everyone is complaining about. Creating any blog takes time and automating the posting and blog to ping mechanisms takes time most site owners would prefer to use making their sites better.

In keeping with corporate policy however, the multi-million dollar search engines will do little to make the web better at the expense of their own bottom lines. Instead, it's easier to blame the little guy trying to make a buck and get his site known.

Nah
Let's just accuse the little guy of polluting out clean web experience. That way the search engines can profit from their efforts as they do with porn, drugs, illegal downloads, etc. etc. etc. People can't buy what they can't find.
