Zeitgeist

Can't think of much today. I was browsing the Google Zeitgeist and noticed something similar in the most popular searches listed for January: 1.tsunami, 2. britney spears, 3. paris hilton, 4. christina aguilera,5. pamela anderson,6. angelina jolie, 7. brad pitt, 8. games, 9. carmen electra, 10. dictionary. You notice it? 6 out 10 searches are for good looking females. Can you imagine if you had a similar name to one of these famous people? Like if I was named Brad Pitt, hundreds of thousands of people would stumble across my website. I do notice the ocaisonal visitor comes from google, but it is with weird search strings like "Easiest Job Search Ever" and "Bad Day in My Midst". I get visited by googlebots and spambots as well. Those are little robots that crawl on people's sites and index their pages. If you type "seinfeld thoughts" on yahoo, my site will come up on the first page. In the zeitgeist I am responsible for the number 10 selection of "dictionary". I can't tell you how many times I have typed that in google just to get to dictionary.com. I guess the most popular thing on the net hasn't changed in 10 years and we all know what that is…

Thought of the Day
"Starting tonight we're having a little sales contest. The loser gets fired. The winner gets a Water Pik."
"You're not giving away our water pik!"
"Serenity Now!"
- Frank, in "The Serenity Now"
