Dear facebook, On Ads

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Dear Facebook,

If I thumb down an it means I don’t want to see it again.  Yet, I constantly have to look at this stupid ad:

Please don’t show me it anymore. :(

Thanks

Twitter Bomb’d

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

I just want to say how annoying it is to search for things when twitter results get mixed in.  Twitter results are near useless, they almost never contain source hyperlinks, they are  few lines of text that are  summed up by the link itself from Google.  I’ve been finding them more and more frequently in Google search results.

I was looking for more information on glassy-bleu, a theme hp made for their laptops, and I found a link to this guy’s twitter page as one of the top 4 results.  Thanks, Google, for letting me know someone out there is trying the theme.  Maybe if it was a blog post he’d have details on how I could try it.

A better application of twitter links would be to just inline them into the search results as the full result.  Why do I have to load another entire webpage to view the twitter user status change?  This whole thing is stupid.  In the best case scenario, they would just derank twitter.
