The problem with SEO is that the good advice is obvious, the rest doesn’t work, and it’s poisoning the web.

Two things

1. Dick personal sites that assault you with forced sound clips and take ages to load. Seriously? This is your actual webpage? Welcome to 2010! As a kicky aside, here’s some sound editing software (you can find it free now) and a copy of Wired from 2003. Welcome to the future.

2. Overestimating your online worth: Yeah, the thing about the people who ‘blog’ for money is that there are about five of them and you aren’t one of them. You never will be. Your blogspot/bloggr/tumblr/whatever.me is a fame fantasy of your own imagination. Accept and/or destroy. You’re driving your friends nuts.

I’m generally not a ‘credit’ dick, ever, but this kind of pisses me off and here’s why: the person who posted this about 3 days ago is my husband and he managed to INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL ARTIST CREDIT. So, I guess if you want to go ahead and strip reblog links out, or just reupload the whole shebang as your own ‘find’ in the hopes everyone will think, ‘hey gee self, that person is SO RAD!” thats cool since it’s the internet, right? More specifically it’s tumblr so no harm, no foul and nothing to get your panties in a twist about, really, but next time you go to so much trouble at least try to find the fucking 20 damn seconds it takes to include artist credit (I took it upon myself to include the click through link, btw, so thank me later) Cool? Right on.

twitter is so fucking stupid

It’s awful. I never use it, I rarely go there, and out of the 10 times I’ve voluntarily visited, it’s been ‘down’ for 7. Almost all of my new followers are spam (bots or people, equally annoying) or people who want me to check out their sexy sexy pictures.

It’s overrun by moron celebrities, and though its fervent fans sanctimoniously drone on about how quickly it pulls it’s digital six-shooter on the international news draw, most of the time the information glutting and jamming its guts is bad, riddled with inaccuracies or just plain wrong which only heightens the fervor and panic. Best case scenario is that it enables the dissemination of ridiculous rumours and innuendo based on nothing but some fucknuts and his idiotic tweet spam. The worst case is that it actually perpetrates disinformation quickly, and thorougly to an audience not so well versed in checking sources and doing it’s own footwork before accepting anything as god’s good news: But I saw it on Jimmy’s twitter, pa, it must be true.

All I ask is that you die twitter, you useless, vapid, pointless application. You are the inbred cousin of Myspace, who has nothing thoughtful to say yet won’t shut up. You wander around all day talking about your car, and what you’re eating and how your toilet got plugged up and spouting pseudo-intellectual half truths, that you try to pass off as insight, written in lolspeak. Return to the firey depths of whatever circle of hell from which you were birthed.

Dear chrome

I love you way more than firefox. I do. I hate, however, that I have to write in plain text/html in my tumblr window…(br/br…really? Fine.)

Why no WSIWYG?

You break my heart Chrome.

I put up with you, though, because you’re just that much better.

Seven Ways Social Media Is Ruining Your Life–And How To Fix It

(via nociva)

It’s making you gullible.
According to the Columbia Journalism Review, humanity created 161 exabytes (huh?) of digital data in 2006. Sounds big, but how big is it? It is THREE MILLION TIMES as much information as all the books ever written. In. One. Year. By next year, that number will be 988 exabytes. No wonder you can’t take the time to figure out if everything you read is true or not.

woah.
