The Privacy Palliative

Is it all pretense? — Your Privacy Matters Because It Impacts Your Future Anyone who tells you they can keep you completely private on the internet is lying to you. It really is that simple. They probably have something to sell you. I run a search engine and I can see first hand just what is delivered to my servers. It’s amazing how…

Do we really need a new search engine?

A simple answer: — We need another search engine? We hear that question a lot and it’s not new. It’s been asked of Google, Yahoo and of just about everyone who’s ever made a search engine since CERN and Tim Berners Lee (pre-1993). Yes, we do, is our answer. …

Why is Search Still so Hard?

After so many years, why can’t we get it right? — SERP is an acronym for Search Engine Results Page.

Search Today As all of us here are, more than likely, long…

We’re All Broken And Will Never Heal

Maybe we don’t have to, maybe there’s a better way — The state we get in when we meditate The not-quite-sleep state Or the mostly sleep state Or, perhaps, even the sleep state (presuming that mediation-sleep is different than sleep-sleep, which is my experience) We/some call it unconsciousness or semi-consciousness I don’t think so I think it’s a lie our egos…

Content Is Not King, Context Is

Debunking one of internet marketing’s most pervasive myths — It’s been a truism on the web for millions of years of internet-time. “Content is king.” It’s nonsense. Don’t believe a word of it. Context rules all. Content derives a large part of its meaning from its context, so if you control the context, you can have an outsized effect…
