Google Chrome - Do You Have It?
Posted by The Elf on Thu, 4 September, 2008 - 20:13
Chrome is Googles latest addition to the web, it is a web browser, aimed at simplicity, ease of use, and of course...open source!
I havn't got to try it out yet, since it's only available on Windows for now, while still in BETA. I have an install file. I'll give it a go tonight on my Virtual XP, in VirtualBox.

The Words Of The Web
Posted by The Elf on Mon, 11 August, 2008 - 08:19
I was driving through town yesterday and I overheard a part of a conversation 2 people where having in the street. The part that I heard was "go onto YouTube and Google the video" I have to say this made me giggle to myself, a lot! Has Google become the word to replace search? I know, I know in ways this can be valid since Google own YouTube but I doubt that's what the person was aiming at.
So it made me think, what words do you use now that you have only picked up through tech/websites/computers? Let me know with a comment!

Your Content and Search Engines
Posted by The Elf on Mon, 23 June, 2008 - 12:54
Search engines are a brilliant way to get traffic and visitors to your site, I would say 90% of people look straight to a search engine when they want to look up something. So a brilliant way to get you this traffic is to structure your content in a way that the search engines will say "Hey, I like that, I think I'll make that a top relevant search for 'this' keyword".
Here are a few simple and very effective points to make sure your content and the search engines get along well.
Keep It Original

Google Is The Magic Number

What's the meaning of life?
I found this on Blaugh today, and it made me realise a few things, This comic is a very accurate representation of life today, Anyone who's heard of the internet, has heard of Google, and it is the best way to track down any info you need, it's more than a search engine, it's a tool (maybe a necessity?) to make daily life all that easier. I know when I need to find something the first thing I do is Google it, and when someone is in need of info themselves I usually reply, Google it, you won't miss it!, And with the Irish Google Homepage, http://google.ie getting over 2 million page views a day, I'm not the only one thinking like this.
