Of course not!

		<outline text="Another angle on the same subject. Yesterday on NPR's &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.npr.org/programs/atc/&quot;&gt;All Things Considered&lt;/a&gt;, a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/atc/20020930.atc.04.ram&quot;&gt;report&lt;/a&gt; on a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.uga.edu/uga/Athens.html&quot;&gt;college town&lt;/a&gt; in the state of Georgia that's installing WiFi over the whole downtown district. The college is paying for it (only $85K). Of course this is a &lt;i&gt;great idea, &lt;/i&gt;it'll make the college much more attractive and the town more useful. But they totally have the wrong idea about what it will be used for (or ATC asked the wrong people). It will be used for email, instant messaging, reading news, and blogging (and probably porn too). It's not just about finding out what's happening in the town or at the college -- it's about what's happening in the world, and creating stuff that's part of the world. People still think of the Internet as something like TV, so by extrapolation of course town-level WiFi must be like local TV, but geez folks, get a clue -- the Internet is two-way not one-way." created="Tue, 01 Oct 2002 15:32:07 GMT"/>

		<outline text="Looks like Google changed their ranking algorithm recently, maybe yesterday. To give you an idea what happened, in June if you &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;q=dave&amp;btnG=Google+Search&quot;&gt;searched for Dave&lt;/a&gt; I was number one, then I slipped to number two, now I'm number four. I still think this is ridiculous, I rank higher than The Dave Matthews Band. Hello. They're famous, I'm an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=iconoclast&quot;&gt;iconoclast&lt;/a&gt;, at best (on a good day). But I'm irked that Scripting News isn't on the top page when you &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;safe=off&amp;q=weblog&quot;&gt;search for weblog&lt;/a&gt;. I think it clearly belongs there. Bottom-line, I think Google's algorithm is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=quirky&quot;&gt;quirky&lt;/a&gt;, or the implementation is buggy, or both. When it first came out it was a miracle. Now I expect more. It's good if they're fixing bugs. When people &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/5688.htm&quot;&gt;say&lt;/a&gt; they're taking food out of their family's mouth, I think they should get a real job. Depending on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=vagaries&quot;&gt;vagaries&lt;/a&gt; of an algorithm programmed by engineers at a VC-backed Silicon Valley dotcom-vestigial company is &lt;i&gt;not a good idea.&lt;/i&gt; A bit of friendly advice..

		<outline text="BTW, I tried changing the title to Scripting News Weblog, and then Dave Winer's Scripting News Weblog, as hints for Google, but it didn't make any difference in its rankings under Weblog or Dave. Getting lots of email on this. Some of it pretty nasty. Amazing what people get upset about." created="Tue, 01 Oct 2002 19:03:09 GMT"/>
