The question? What’s the deal with this whole Google/AOL deal where Google reportedly paid a Billion dollars for a 5% stake in AOL? And why are they giving up all these free ads to AOL?
Clip ==> “Even after trolling through the massive coverage through memeorandum, something doesn’t feel right. If anyone can identify just what Google’s getting that’s worth risking its reputation (deserved or not) as the best search site, I’m sure readers here would love to hear it….”
Thoughts ==> They know or see something we don’t. That Has to be it – there are details undisclosed to us regular folk, that if brought to light, would lend sense to all this. It can’t just be to pry them loose from Microsoft.

So soon after I made such a fuss about how kick-@ss Google Web Comments is, I’m shamefully made to eat (some) of my words in public.
rant >
I love you, Google. Honest.
But what is up with this no-count, shifty-eyed, lazy add comments interface? I type my words in the box according to all the rules, I press publish and… voila. Junk in my blog trunk.
And not the good kind, neither.
So one of two things has to happen, Google, my love.

I know. I’m corny.
Whaddya wanna bet you love me anyway? Besides, contrary to what I had planned on being the truth when I told it to my friend Andrew three hours ago. I am. Still. Awake. (28 hours! Woo hoo.)
Back to the Technorati news …. ==>
Yesterday , Technorati, rss and blog resource extraordinaire, made some updates that make it easier to use. Summary of updates:
- Charts (visual tracking of blogosphere convo as tracked by Technorati).
- Extracts that seems to make more sense, contextually (they seem to quote more often on what was being said that is related to that tag.
- What they’re calling “scoped search”, which is basically the ability to focus in on conversation sub-topics.
- My favorite – Better profiles, with tag clouds.
Thoughts ==> That other stuff is great, but that profile tag thing turns me on the most, vain princess that I am when it comes to ego searches. If you wanted to know everything I tagged at Technorati that has to do with Website promotion , they’ve got a tag for that.

Accoording to Lee Odden’s Online Marketing Blog:
Clippy ==> “On Wednesday, December 21 Google is conducting a webinar to present new features with AdSense.
Recently, a better search box has been implemented as well as the option to have AdSense reports emailed to you.”
Thinky ==> “Mo’ money, Mo’ money, Mo’ money”. And if you know what that means, you’re old too. When you’re in the Wayback Machine, say hi to Big Daddy Kane for me.
Linky ==> Google AdSense Webinar

I haven’t been writing much about Technorati because since around the middle of last week, my tags haven’t been working right. I’ve been meaning to do a nice video tutorial about things you can do with Technorati, Icerocket and the like but like I said, I been broke down.
Well, anyway, today when I was re-claiming my blog I noticed a post of Steve’s , which talks about new goings-ons at Technorati.
Apparently, they’ve got a business blogger beta running , and in it’s first stage of deployment, they’re doing a kind of clipping service.
“The first dish we’re serving up is Explore, which is like a newspaper frontpage for any topic. Wondering what Business bloggers are talking about today? Now you can find out what the hottest posts are in any area, from Gossip to Gadgets to anything else you can think of.” says Derek Powazek in their blog.
