Poynter Online a journalist site recently posted about the need for online news providers to get the ‘right’ headline for search engine optimization- and not only little outfits like AXcess news are struggling to find the right words:
http://www.poynter.org/column......aid=117989

The article author for AXcess was just trying to beat all the other stories to the top and managed to ‘kick butt’ doing it…

and hate to break it to everyone but Cheney has been in charge the whole time today’s headlines that claims that Bush ‘reclaims’ power from Cheney are even funnier then a butt probe.

There are a lot of idiotic posts on this one. I’ll leave it to Bush Derangement Syndrome. So I bet it’s Bush’s fault that you fools over in England are allowing 20,000 Islamic terrorists to live amongst you. I can’t wait until you ultra-tolerant goofs start allowing Sharia Law.

Where does Google news get their stories? It seems rare that they ever link to mainstream media, but rather seem to favorite obscure news site.

And that may be fine if they can vouch for their journalistic integrity, but anyone can toss up a news site and call themselves “serious journalists” and probably get Google to link to them.

Wow, don’t know how I commented on the wrong article. Duh, this was intended for: http://www.techcrunch.com/2007.....ird-world/

Having deployed and managed many tech centers in under served communities I can vouch for the fact that there is no silver bullet to prevent porn access to those who have Internet access. It’s just not possible. Regardless of what they do OLPC will be delivering porn access. Eh…so what? The good with the bad, right?

From my personal experience I can tell you first hand that nothing beats having twenty+ of your tech center coordinators using curriculum with a link to http://www.whitehouse.com instead of http://www.whitehouse.gov. The former at the time was a goatse-esque porn site.

Apparently, the author of this article is against free press. This isn´t important, who would take that news seriously?.

Hilarious — I submitted my podcast of interviews with top CEOs, etc. to Google News — only to be “declined” because there aren’t “multiple employees and/or editors” (I’m one-man new media producer).

Perhaps they’ll one day reconsider their “limitations” on content providers. I even use professional titles for my content.

..the funny thing about all of this is how Bush’s staff will visualize him, the most powerful person on the planet, w/a tube up his butt once he returns to office.

Google rankings aren’t editorial. They reflect how often other sites link in, and traffic and so on. So your article just helped make sure it would stay near the top. Isn’t life an ironic bayatch?

When you think about it, this may be the closest that the indexes at Google News ever approximated a human editor. It automatically did what the Drudge Report has always done. It assigned the most sensational headline to the top of the heap.

Shouldnt Google News do a deeper probe into this? The indexing seems half assed to me. If they keep this up, they will be the butt of a lot of jokes.

I’m not seeing the problem here. Are you one of these people who consider patriotism for your country is congruent with patriotism for the man whose butt occupies the seat?

Cheney as President, even for an hour, is a very scary thought. If that had happened in 1962, there might no longer be life on Earth. Give the man the Briefcase and you know he would like to use it. Just hope that he doesn’t issue any Executive Orders….

Since my site is down, and I’m relaxingly (is that a word?) working this morning - I got a great laugh out that one! Kudos Mike for sharing that!
