A quickie on the shallowness of blogs

March 3rd, 2005 § § permalink

Perhaps many of you blog readers have heard that Yahoo Messenger 6.0 suports search shortcuts within IM conversations. But do you really know what’s all about? No. Is not about that search box is a SHORTCUT

type in your conversation s:keyword where keyword can be one or more keywords. Than wait for magic to happen

K. Let’s get back on the shallowness. You have heard about that shortcut but you haven’ t knew what was. Why? Because the bloggers have developed a conditional reflex called the “copy/paste complex”. When they see a nice piece of information they grab it without digesting it and put it quickly.

The shortcut mentioning is from the Yahoo press release …but there is no mention what is the shortcut :)

My Search – Firefox search plugin

March 2nd, 2005 § § permalink

Well I use a lot the My Search from Yahoo and Firefox and I could’t found a search plugin. Because of that I have decided to modify the existing Yahoo plugin to suit my needs.

Click here to get it

You have to be logged in on Yahoo to use this at its full power

Usage:
Unpack the archive into searchplugins directory and restart the browser.

Maybe I was expecting too much…but hey…ICE CREAM? I understand it’s a nice symbolic gesture…but…ICE CREAM? Where are the blogs guys? And When do you make public My Search feature?

I woke up up this morning at 7 AM hoping to see a different Yahoo or at least a redesign aspect of the forgotten features…but nothing beside an ICE CREAM.

I’ll look through today maybe I missed something but beside a Mail Tutorials link (that by the way could be there for a time) I don’t see anything new/changed

Maybe I need another coffee :)

Who’s the faster spider?

Sunday 27 I have activated the domain, setup WordPress, and started posting. Good. Than:
- put the RSS on My Yahoo! for indexing
- setup a Technorati account
- submit to Google using the free submit

Results?

Spider Hits Bandwidth Date

Googlebot 13 33.78 KB 27 Feb 2005 – 21:22
Inktomi Slurp 2 10.28 KB 28 Feb 2005 – 22:43

Well I was idiot enough to do both Technorati and Google submit, but if I was to put my money on something…that would be Technorati. I mean is the Technorati the caused the googlebot visit.

Since now the domain shows up only on Yahoo though…let’s see how long is Googlebot digestion period

Where Am I?
