Posted in Web 2 years ago

I came across a pure Tamil URL today: http://உதாரணம்.பரிட்சை/முதற்_பக்கம். Searching for such website is hard if ones doesn’t know how to type these.

In other news, lack of WiFi at my hotel encouraged me to walk around downtown SF. I should have gone earlier and rented a bike (shop closes at 6pm.)

The official TED blog makes a list of 100 websites that you should know and use. I know what I’ll be doing when I have time to spare.

The Web is constantly turning out new and extraordinary services many of us are unfamiliar with. During TED University at this spring’s TED2007 in Monterey, Julius Wiedemann, editor in charge at Taschen GmbH, offered an ultra-fast-moving ride through sites in many different areas, from art, design and illustration, to daily news, blogs and curiosity. Now, by popular demand, here’s his list of 100 websites you should know and use.

Infinite Loop

Here’s the deal:

  • Google lists the post on my favorite wordpress plugins as the second hit for my name.

  • Spammers target this highly visible post for all the spam (about 90% on just this post.) Fortunately, akismet blocks almost all of them.

  • I have a plugin installed that organizes the dates in my sitemap by the most recent updates. The amount of spam causes the last modified date on the post to be updated regularly.

  • Google uses this information to repeatedly crawl the aforementioned post, thinking it’s a highly active page.

  • Positive feedback ensues.
