Just what it sounds like. My quest to conquer the global media and take over the world. Maybe I can get my library fines cancelled…what can I say? It’s a last-ditch effort.

Operation Global Media Domination: Best Blog award nominations are open

Posted on by

TIAYou know what to do.

Here is where to do it.

I think it’s probably best if I concentrate on this one, but I’ve also auto-nominated in this one. Gee, does this mean I’ll go blind? All nominations and votes will be gratefully accepted and you’ll be placed on my Christmas email list. Don’t let it go to your head, eh?

Seriously, there must be eight or ten of these popularity contests that I’ve heard of lately, but this is the first one I haven’t missed the deadline for. The only problem with being so weird is that it sorta limits your category choices: there’s no option for Best Cthulhu Mythos and Celebrities Making Asses of Themselves Blog.

But I would own that.

Operation Global Media Domination: Technorati crumbles

TIAMADE IT!

Finally I am back in the top 100,000 blogs on technorati.

$e(‘bsearch’).value = “Search this blog”;

 

About bloody time, too. There are actually more like 150 blogs that link here, but because Technorati is not technologically sophisticated enough to recognize that one blog could have two URLs, it only counts the ones made since the domain switchover. Thank god for the 700-or-so misguided surfers who came here yesterday, looking for info about Borat getting the shit pounded out of him in NYC.

If it weren’t for the fact I’m so incredibly self-referential, I’d still be languishing with the haircut blogs down at the three millionth position. At this rate, with a couple more flamewars, I should be back to the old ranking by about Christmas time, which will be a nice pressie. If I haven’t made it by then, I’ll just start picking fights with celebublogs at random and linking to blogs nobody else links to randomly, as they are always so grateful.

Beware, ye mighty and ye obscure!

Operation Global Media Domination: raincoaster the drama queen

Posted on by

total information awareness

Ladies and gentlemen, I have joined a rare sorority indeed. Up in the Cloud-Cuckoo Land inhabited by the likes of Xeni, Atrios, Matt and Robert, one is issued with one’s very own Stanford-grad intern and Technorati fluffers upon entry.

I, my friends, have ascended.

I have my own tag.

Now, the eagle-eyed among you will have already noticed that if you check Technorati for blog entries associated with the tag “Operation Global Media Domination” that I have pretty much a complete hegemony on all OGMD-related posts. This is no accident; indeed, I put the fix in early and often for that one, and to, obviously, great effect.

But as every self-aggrandizer knows, the true laurels are those which come to you when you least expect them, from strangers.

An unknown (and possibly unknowable) WordPress member has bestowed upon me my very own tag.

“raincoaster the drama queen“

*wipes away a tear* 

Alas, Dr Mike has proactively deleted it; now not only do I look histrionic, I look like I’m hallucinating as well! A screencap, a screencap, my Slithering Reptile TLB Ranking for a screencap!

Operation Global Media Domination: do me a favour, wouldja?

Posted on by

TIASeriously, I need the help.

Ever since WordPress switched my URL from raincoaster.wordpress.com to raincoaster.com my hits have walked right off a cliff and straight down a deep well (momentary buoyance provided by Brian Atene and Even Stevphens notwithstanding). I don’t know why this is: have I suddenly become dull? Have I stopped posting? Hell to the no!

So I’m going to assume it has something to do with the links. When in doubt, blame the technology.

If those of you who’ve put me in your blogroll could switch it over to raincoaster.com instead, you’d be doing me a favour. And in the future, please use the current raincoaster.com URLs. No sense racing a dead horse, even if it outranks the live one.

While I do get a modest thrill of learning that I’ve gone up 900,000 places on Technorati since the start of this changeover, I still have another 100,000 places to go to regain my ground, and that means another 75 links, minimum. Sigh.

Back to looking for more damn Narnia porn.
