The Google Instant Time Waster
If you’ve searched lately, you’ve probably witnessed the new Google Instant functionality.
They say they implemented it to save people time, but for me, it’s just become another way for me to get lost in the Web.
I’ve been randomly typing in letters and words just to see what Google thinks I want to know about. What is the most popular search term connected to that word?
Apparently, a is for Amazon.
And Google brings up Google Maps. They don’t even rate their own root first.
It’s fascinating,like a great big round of Match…
(wait for it…)

The Statistical Benefits of Writing a General Blog
Almost everyone out there says that successful bloggers are niche bloggers. For me though, I’ve always been a generalist. I’m the classic Master of None. But I know enough about so many things that I can usually have an intelligent conversation with anyone I meet.
I have other blogs out there for specific purposes, but this one is my personal, general blog. In two statistical categories, this is the one that is doing the best.
- Technorati authority. Because I can write about almost anything, I can participate in a variety of blog carnivals. That gets me backlinks. Which gets me authority.
- Google page rank. I think I’m at a PR of 2 now. For probably the same reason.
I’m not really interested in doing anything differently here. These are just almost unintentional by-products of my general blog. But since I like stats and improvements, I’m going to keep trying to make the numbers grow.
