Re: My Posts

3 08 2008

Yesterday I was linked to another WordPress blog. After looking through it I found a post that I posted the same day. Naturally, I left a comment on it. I was angry that it was posted without my permission or anything. Okay, I can understand that it might be difficult to get a hold of me sometimes, but at least link back to me.

Then I found myself a link to Google’s Blogsearch. The site iPodFans.org had been taking my posts, too, but they had been respectful and linked back to me. This morning, though, I am to find that the site has been taken down.

Maybe I’m just complaining like I do from time to time. But if you want to repost something of mine, please either link back to me, or my site, or e-mail me before doing so, asking if it’s alright. Usually, I won’t care really, just ask my permission.





My Review of Cuil

30 07 2008

Everyone’s doing a post on Cuil, so I thought I’d jump onto the band wagon. Cuil, well, I don’t like it, as everyone else is saying. I do, however, think it has potential. The aim of Cuil’s creators was to be better that their previous employer, Google, and as a brand new site, of course they do. I don’t believe that any product will do better than the best just after release.

I’ll say that it is definitely something different, definitely not perfect either. Being one of the first people to get the iPhone 3G, I’ve definitely seen the ups and downs of early adopting. Who knows, maybe once they figure out who “specialKolin” is they’ll start getting more popular.

ps: it says to “think of different words to describe your search” and nothing came up for “the awesomest blogger ever” …oh well…
