Another Google page rank adjustment

by Neil MacLean on October 25, 2007

It’s my birthday. Thanks. My five year old woke me with a card on which he had drawn a few of his father’s favourite things. Right under the figure playing tennis and a foot kicking a ball, he had sketched a computer with just one word in the middle of the screen: “Googel”

Fair enough, I suppose Google is one of his daddy’s favourite things, particularly if the conjecture is correct that the latest page rank adjustment has clobbered sites which buy and sell links. That makes me very happy.

That’s something for me to look forward to as my son Archie is only 2.

If he was 5 I would also expect to see a sketch of a computer but with “del.icio.us” in the middle.

And I wouldn’t put it past him to get the dots in the right place ;-)

Specially for the under five’s and thanks, I suspect, to Yahoo’s deep coffers, you can now type delicious without the dots and it resolves to del.icio.us automagically

Neil, I noticed the delicious.com thing recently too. They kept that quiet or did I miss something?

I can understand it I suppose, but I prefer the domain name hack, just to be bl**dy awkward ;-)
