Warmest Greetings,

:: Thursday, August 28, 2003 ::

While out running around spreading the news about Cre8asiteForums first year anniversary and blowing up baloons, I found this neat toy created by Chris Ridings for his SearchGuild forums >>>Elsewhere. I swear Chris never stops creating new inventions for the Internet! Good for you!

If you love free stuff >>> Best Freeware is a list you may enjoy.

If you were stuck home, like I was, and missed the big SEO bash in San Jose, CA, Andy Beal wrote a 4 part series on it. Thanks Andy and SearchEngineGuide!

Inside Search Engine Strategies, San Jose - Day One

Day Three - Chat with Google co-founder, Sergey Brin

Day Four

Bragadocchio's Blog Pick of the Day >>>The Julie/Julia Project - "Nobody here but us servantless American cooks..."


Sempo has launched. I didn't see a place for free SEO forums to be part of this exclusive venture. Sad.

Developer information (present this to those in charge who think everybody has high-speed connections) >>> August 2003 Bandwidth Report

"This month's Bandwidth Report compares cable and DSL broadband Internet access in the US, Australia, and New Zealand. Overall, broadband grew by 1.1% in July, with 37.8% of wired US users enjoying a high-speed connection. Over 15% of wired Australians have a broadband connection, according to a June 2003 ACNielsen.consult survey. 8.3% of New Zealand workers have DSL, according to the ISCR."

If I find anything else interesting, I'll be sure to let you all know.

Okay. I just did.

What is Jakob Smoking?

"Nielsen's recommendations increasingly strike me as being optimized for a sharply-circumscribed subset of technology users: the army of midlevel clients at the mercy of a corporate IT department. You might well be able to convince me that this cohort represents a plurality of the overall user audience, but you'd never be able to get me to sign off on the notion that ironclad recommendations of right and wrong should be based on such a user profile."
