Human Interaction in the Virtual World

Aside from social media sites, the best source of human interaction exists on forum websites. Forums often are directly relevant to specific niches and have various categorically indexed portions where web developers meet, discuss, buy, sell, exchange, and barter services and information.

Google: An Evil Genius

Given the page rank of Word Fashionista.com has dropped to a whopping zero! I feel it only fair to ponder if their "Do no evil" corporate philosophy remains affect in respect to business as usual? It seems more like "Do as I say, Not as I do" for those being penalized for buying and selling links.

Realistically, I am guessing that implementing such penalties is simply a way to reduce the competition and improve Adwords revenues that is if Google allows those dropped sites to "buy" back into Google Search. In which case, the world of SEO/SEM will certainly have something to bitch about as a direct result. Until such time as these type numbers are known, we can only guess that the search God has outsmarted the world once again by strategically becoming the best example of globalization success in the modern business world. Successfully avoiding issues such as those Microsoft and Bill Gates experienced at the hands of the United States Federal Government for similar practices designed to limit competition.

Clearly, Google is brilliant although perhaps a bit hypocritical with the philosophy of "Do no evil" when in fact as Nathan Weinberg points out Google is the devil's stock!http://google.blognewschannel.com/archives/2007/10/24/google-stock-for-the-devil/

Suite is not very sweet

After purchasing new software online, I discovered that the term "Suite" is not always what it seems. In fact, this "suite" of software and the company behind them is not "sweet" at all. After being sent an invalid registration code, I am attempting to negotiate with them via Paypal for an actual working registration code. Wish me luck.

Caution is urged when dealing with any electronic products seller as you may not always get what you pay for.
