Imagine search if you will from the perspective of the end user, I say this because as an SEO you already have an inbuilt system of filtering search noise.  Most outside of the realms of search engine optimisation are baffled by the millions of search results generated by the likes of Google, Microsoft and Yahoo.

Search is set to change to offer more guidance to users  who simply cannot find the information they are looking for within those first 10 results. So what will the next generation of search engines look like ?  Search engines need to move away from thinking profit is key and focus upon delivering intelligent results for their users.

This is the first competition I have seen so far Free Google T-Mobile G1 Android Phone Competition

Basically you tell them what phone you have at present, what you like and dislike, and you are entered into a draw for a free android phone.

I asked if I could get one for my blog … they said no but I could enter the draw and they also said that this could become a monthly thing.

So I was asked by my long suffering wife ( Becky ) to get the kids ready to go to the Halloween party at the Out of School Club. Becky told me that the kids were not allowed to wear scary masks that came with the Halloween costumes… to be honest they weren’t that scary..

But wait I had some face paints and tada..

then I was informed that they weren’t allowed to wear the masks due to the younger kids being scared .. they have some 3 year olds at the out of school club ..oops

Hey, it was filmed at Google, there’s a tenuous SEO connection!

Jonathan Ross has landed himself and sex manic Russell Brand (and all round good guy) a suspension and a serious finger wagging at, over the controversy of telling Fawlty Towers star Andrew Sachs that Brand had f**cked his Granddaughter.

More than 18,000 people have complained to the BBC, this lady was on TV complaining.

To be honest I didn’t think she looked like a Russell Brand fan, but it takes all sorts.

I would like to know how many of the 18,000 complainants had actually listen to the show which was pre-recorded early in the week, I bet not even 1%. What about the people that allowed it to air? Maybe we should burn them at the stake? Apparently after the show aired there were only 2 complaints and they were for the swearing, not the prank.

OK the calls were undoubtedly piss funny if you’re a Brand fan :) and in bad taste if you’re not, but the BBC’s radio program review process is to blame here. It was a pre-recorded show, they let it air but more than that on the day the show was recorded, a producer called Andrew Sachs on his mobile to ask whether they could play the recording in question.

Andrew said:”The signal was poor and I couldn’t really hear what was being played down the line to me.”, “But I asked whether they would consider allowing me to come in the following week and then the recorded segment would not have to be included.”

He said Ross had “personally delivered a letter of apology and some flowers” since the broadcast.

hmmmm didn’t I read recently that the BBC are trying to cut back on spending … £6 million a year for Ross now that’s a big saving I guess…and as for Gordon Brown getting involved I would have thought he has more important things to be focusing on right now like the state of the country the recession.
