Before I go into my rant, I just want to say that I’m sure Craigslist still serves a purpose for many other visitors.

Now that that’s out of the way, I can now say that Craigslist is of no real use to me. I’ve gotten so much run-around from the job postings that it’s no longer worth it for me to check the site even once a week anymore. Posters post for the sake of posting and never follow up on what they were originally posting for. I’m not even going to go into the recent headlines where people have been killed when responding to a Craigslist post, like in the case of the “Craigslist Killer.”     Read the rest of this entry »

So everyone wants to know what the quickest and easiest way is to get their site a high ranking on Google, Yahoo and MSN. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is an extremely difficult science to master. I don’t know what the current stats are for sites being added to the web everyday, and there isn’t any consensus by internet reporting agencies about how many sites actually exist. I’ve read that Google has indexed in excess of 1.3 billion sites, but Google actually indexes pages, so who knows what 1.3 billion objects have been indexed. Even if we used only half of that number, the competition is tough.

In any event, people are under the misconception that if they launch a website, people will come. They have the latest and greatest product and everyone and their brother want to buy it. That may very well be true. Who’s going to tell these people about their product? How does anyone tell the public they have a product to sell? You might not even be selling something per se. You may have your own blog, a forum, or game or just about anything you can think of, that you want for people to know about.     Read the rest of this entry »

So I never got into the whole “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” or “Angel” shows. They just seemed so silly and sophomoric. I would have thought the same the about “The Vampire Diaries,” but I have to admit, I look forward to 8pm on Thursday nights!

The story revolves around Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) and two vampire brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore (Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder). We haven’t gotten the whole story yet, but apparently, Elena is a dead-ringer (excuse the pun) for Katherine, a woman from the brothers’ past. Stefan is protective of Elena, while Damon wants to destroy her. While the Salvatore family has been outcast from Mystic Falls (the town in which they live), Stefan seems to fit in at school…as well as a 150-year-old vampire can I suppose. Damon has been feeding on residents randomly throughout the town, and the town is in fear of a large predatory animal. Hmmm an animal that only attacks its human victims on the neck.     Read the rest of this entry »

TMZ has reported that the ex-fiancé of Kandi Burruss, one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, was killed in a bar fight last night. It was reported that AJ “suffered severe head injuries during the fight at Body Tap and was rushed to Piedmont Hospital, where he later died.” Frederick Richardson has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.

According to a post on No4Corners.com, Kandi had already called off the wedding back in August, stating that Kandi and AJ had become engaged right before taping started for RHA. While taping, Kandi says that there were alot of issues she was confronted with that to-date haven’t been shared in front of the camera. Anyone who watches the show knows that Kandi was taking alot of heat from her mother over AJ’s rampant baby-making (6 children with 4 different mothers). Even though the wedding had been called off, Kandi says that she and AJ are still together and trying to work through their issues.     Read the rest of this entry »
