Temptation is everywhere. Temptation to artificially boost traffic or revenue or some other metric. It might work in the short run, but when you’re done, you don’t have much to show for it.
Today, Squidoo hit 100,000 lenses. In a few hours, we’ll hit 50,000 unique lensmasters as well. That’s as good an excuse as any to talk about what we’ve learned.

americans have suggested that koolaid is hyphenated; i do not trust them.

Many foul and elucidatory denizens of our own post-network networks are aware of Google. This great game of internet is bequeathed 5 levels; one for each of the layers of the protocols*. The other sundry CEOs and Oyabun which inhabit the outer spheres of this rectangular hell are oft forgotten.
Where once the fiber was dark a limpid white neon flows: all will become clear.
level 1: “im in ur base, killin you d00dz”.
Enters ones base, kills ones doodz.
Defeated by entering its base and killing it’s doodz, yeah how’d ya like that!!!11
level 2: Gawker.
Subtlety weakens the players charisma attribute with specious gossip and compromising photos.
Defeated with SEO optimized headlines or by shutting the fuck up about how new york you are.
level 3: Akami.
The one nobody remembers. Underappreciated quasi-japanese boss beloved by dorky indie gamers and other self fancying fuckbags.
Attacks the players bandwidth with tentacles and bizarre load balancing attacks.
Akami but one weakness: bittorrent.
level 4: Probably Microsoft.
It’s big, it’s tough. The boss all players fear. Possessed of raw money and animal business practices, microsoft is a powerful foe. Initially attacking with high velocity chairs, it attempts to destroy the player with pure power and rage; if this attack fails Microsoft’s release a maelstrom of litigation.
experienced gamers may bring about about Microsoft’s downfall from within. By harnessing MBAs and process, Microsoft can be made to consume itself.
noobs just get a mac.
level 5) Google.
all seeking, all knowing, distributed parallel deceiver, two hundred and fifty thousand wafers of silicon entwined in unison. destroyer of anonymity, keeper of the scared web, bringer of light, home.
The world largest advertising agency.
“how can one defeat such a creature”
“come closer, all will become clear”
“quickly, we have little time”
“do no evil”
*well 5, or 7, or 6, just whatever.
