Earlier I posted a blog entry about having difficulty conceiving a gaudy poem… well… I thought for a few more minutes (10 minutes max) and then decided to turn to my favorite research assistant for help…. Google. I went to the search box in my browser and typed “gaudy poem” (without quotes) and guess what the first hit returned was? MY BLOG POST. It would appear that since I have been abnormally chatty as blogs go recently, the GoogleBot has placed my IP address on speed-dial and my entries appear in the Google index almost immediately. Its a bit cool, but also a bit scary at the same time.
A person should never see themselves as the first hit on any random search on Google… it just isn’t right.
