Obscurity

with 4 comments

The internet is a great way for obscure information to come into the spotlight – like the musings of an eclectic guy in Sri Lanka, for example.

So it’s something of a minor triumph that I should turn up in a google search at all.

Anyone who’s been involved in the web design industry is already well aware of how important being in search engines has become. There’s a separate industry built around Search Engine Optimization (SEO), so much so that spammers have taken to creating bogus websites to lure unsuspecting surfers.

After all, being able to find out something in this vast sea of information is very important. So important that the term “google” has become an adjective a verb in everyday english today.

There was an interesting article on the power of Google recently at ZDNet.

So who do you think turns up first on a google search for “failure“?

It’s worth a look.
