Operation Global Media Domination: Technorati: for all your “faith in civilization” needs

Posted on by

Seriously. I never thought of reaffirming my faith in human nature by checking Technorati (particularly as it refuses to promote me from 18,694th place) but this, actually, is heartening:

Really, it’s most uplifting. Sure, we’ve got a titty model, a mindless entertainment site, a closeted neo-Gospel singer, a computer, a mindless hookup and boast site, the sound you make when swallowing a too-big vitamin pill, and a popular kind of canned beans, but then we also have, in the top ten blog searches in the world at this time, one of the greatest newly-dead philosophers in the world.

Now, if I only knew what Joost was…is it a Tang substitute?

We like to take credit where credit is due, and sometimes where it isn’t, but we at the ol’ raincoaster blog do think we were on this Shakespearean meme first. Still, we welcome the appearance of more classically-trained bloggers.

Happy Bloggiversary to moi!

Yeah. So. Given the technical issues over the past couple of days which I have not mentioned here strictly out of my concern for your joyful blog-perusing experience (because lo, we are all about thee on the ol’ raincoaster blog, I tell ya), I am not quite as thrilled and indeed substantially more downcast than I should be to be celebrating the first bloggiversary of the ol’ raincoaster blog.

Maybe that’s because I’ve had two hours of sleep. Maybe it’s just because I can’t afford anything less virtual or more celebratory than a jpg.

I know: I have a $1 gift certificate for Timmy’s, so tomorrow we paint the town chocolate-glazed! < /whine>

TIANo, I’m not talking about boring jerks who corner you in bars and flash their Technorati rankings; I’m talking about useful programs or sites to help you take your raw hit data and extract the meaning that’s lurking deep within. Stat charts are like lab charts; they can tell you a lot about the health of your relationship to your readers.

A salute to the highly organized Pete Quily for being efficient enough to write these down and post them to the Wiki while I was busy yapping.
