nestle crunch

New day, new argument for why everyone must blog. Blog or die. For some reason the blogosphere is constantly trying to justify its existence. From The next Web is the human Web:

Quick, do a little project with me. Visit the home pages of Nestle and Quixtar.

Without clicking anywhere find me a real human being. Not one made out of a stock photo agency.

You don’t need to look. There aren’t any. Not to mention that you can’t talk to a real human being. And I don’t see anything on those two pages that I’d like to link to. Which means they won’t get high search engine rankings no matter how many SEO firms they pay.

Why should Nestle care about search engine rankings in the first place? Why should Nestle care about Internet at all? And who goes to the Nestle home page in the first place?

alex loves google

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

The Official Google Blog put up a story on Alex Chiles. “She just completed 6th grade in the Seattle area. And she wrote this essay for her class. If we made Alex up, you wouldn’t believe us, so take a moment to read her report yourself.”

A selection from Google Is The Center OF My Internet World, the essay in question:

Now you know how important Google is to me when I’m online or using my computer! Whether I’m finding a friend’s phone number or just checking my email, Google covers it all. Google has a product for everything and they’re so easy to use! I’m not sure if I could survive without Google and all of its products, they are just way to useful!

This is from a school essay.

Kids these days.
