Snoskred - Life in the Country

Tomorrow I am going to post what might be the most important blog post I ever write here on the blog. Some people may be insulted by it. Some people may feel guilty. Some people may shoot the messenger. The message is important and I am going to ask all of you to help me in getting the message out there by stumbling the post, digging it, posting about it on your blogs and anything else you can do to get the word out. Please don’t blame me for being the messenger or making you feel insulted or guilty. We all have a responsibility to our fellow humans to try and do the right thing but sometimes convenience and “what we’re used to” and “what seems easy” is what we do, instead of what is *right*.

I’m struggling with the wording of it right now because it is something I feel very strongly about and as it reads right now, it could be seen as.. well.. venomous. I’ll try to take the venom out, if ya’all promise you’ll read it with an open mind.

On Friday I posted about blog spam - when I posted there had been 91 spam comments in the Tan Tan Noodles spam filter. Would anyone like to take a guess at how many there are now, Sunday evening, just 2 days later? Not you Sephy, you have admin access and that would be cheating..

And now onto the wrap up!

Funny Search Terms This Week -

Britney Naked - Oh come on, we’ve all seen her meat purse already! Why are you still looking for this? Seriously!

western uniuon - Looks like I’ll be getting all the mis-spelt searches for this - and it might be a great idea to create a page for the search engines..

girl who made a million dollars with adsense - I don’t believe anyone did. I’m firmly anti-adsense. Bloggers and webmasters deserve to get paid more than adsense pays. It really is that simple. Google are making a shedload out of it, I’m sure - and they need to give more back to the people supporting it.

Must Reads -

Does Google have anything to fear from the blogosphere? - I think another question to ask is, does Google have anything to fear from the ACCC - if they go around penalising Aussie bloggers they might find out that they do, because something like that would be against the trade practices act. Plus, they’re already in trouble with the ACCC - ACCC Alleges misleading and deceptive conduct by Trading Post and Google - It will be interesting to see how that turns out.
