The last week has seen exit and shifting of 2 important entities of the search-world, one virtual and the other flesh-n-blood. Google Answers service has quietly exited. One recalls the times when Google used to charge for more specific search results if the usual ones failed to provide answers one is looking for. Which is […]
Catch them young
As I write this post, I can’t help recalling a cartoon I used in my Nov 29 post (India’s male bloggers). I hadn’t thought it would reflect reality so soon. Have a look:Google first!

Content to rescue
It’s always been so. Only we, the impatient website owners, do not pay attention to it.
