i believe that the razor blade manufacturers hit their billionth mark within a decade of beginning production. yes, few companies ship billions- but logitech hit billion from multiple models. razor companies from the same model blade.

The success story that the article talks about is about getting one lead a day only. If 5% of these convert into visitors who actually come and stay at the inn, that's 1 or 2 new visitors per month. Unlikely to be worth any trouble with the website. The inn owner would have been better off spending that money on Google AdWords. He's effectively attracting callers with what must be tens of dollars per call cost. If that's the success story, what's the typical outcome?

caracas is quite warn and humid. not too surprising for a country that is close to the equator.

i happen to be sitting in on a talk right now about advanced networking and watching something get posted up about an Internet2 specific p2p network. you know, sometimes i think that kids really just need to do more drugs. drugs would prevent the pollution of r&e networks. yup. it is really that simple. legalize drugs and kids would not trade illegal music or look for pr0n. sigh.

Journal Journal: Poking at Google... part 2

Journal by tcyun on Tuesday July 08, 2003 @08:50PM

A while back, I noticed that vanity searches on google found posts on slashdot before they found my work or personal web pages. So, I did the only thing that I could think of: post a link to the web pages in my journal.

Well, it is about a month since I posted a link to my personal web page. Google now sees it before any slashdot reference. Very interesting. Very powerful. Very disturbing.

So, I have noticed that google finds me in Slashdot before any other place. Wondering if this link will help it find some other parts of me...
