In the begining there was Internet Explorer. The fact that all spyware was directed to it made Firefox gain 10-20% marketshare. Inserting the search box on the top right of the browser made Google the king of search.

No buzz about Buzz
TechCrunch noticed the other day that Google Buzz is kind of dead. Google botched this in a big way. Why and how?
First of all, shoving it on our throats. Big mistake. People were searching like crazy for ways of removing this bitch from their mail account. What happened to the invite? It worked on gmail and it worked on wave. Google wanted to crush twitter in a second. Didn’t quite work, did it?
Second, sharing a lot of stuff right off the bat. Like Facebook does. People are not ok with that. Nobody likes to have their data shared with everyone without their consent. That is why privacy exists.
I don’t know anybody that uses Google Buzz. Do you?

real-time web
The problem is not how fast is the search, but rather how relevant is. But Google started it and everybody follows. Uuu, let’s index twitter. Why? Who cares about twitter? That is right, nobody. Is twitter relevant? No, not really.
So, Google chooses one more time the easy road. Rather than fixing his search results (don’t bother using Google spamreport or emailing Matt Cutts with some relevant problems, he has no time, he is busy twittering) and cutting into those seo practices, they choose more noise. More noise=more Google use. I can’t find what i am looking for! More Google!

Google XML Sitemap Generator is not working in WordPress 2.9.x
For some reason, the plugin does not run when a new post is published. I guess some cron problems. So, the option is to run it manually or don’t upgrade.
I still haven’t found a replace plugin for it.

Proof that Google puts Blogger ahead of everyone
Yes, that is a racist photo of Michelle Obama, US First Lady. How did it get there? Nobody knows. Why did it get there? Because Google prioritize Blogger ahead of other sites. That is why there’s lots of spamblogs on Blogger.
Serves them right.
