Useless Old Stuff

• Anyone know the date fake steve jobs stopped blogging as a fake steve jobs and started just being a snarky forbes editor? #
• None, none, none of his recent posts are things the real steve jobs would care about. Scoble? Podtech? How facebook’s $ hurts google? #
• I’m very behind on my google pagerank post. In the meantime, aaron’s (@technosailor) rant is a classic! http://tinyurl.com/2hc64w #
• B5 announces its advisory board, incm @scobleize, @rblodgett, @docsearls, @gapingvoid and @stoweboyd: http://tinyurl.com/36yqcp #
• One last meeting, then time for home! #
• Ouch @technosailor – that sucks. You need to move away from bwi! All your travel probelms seem to start there!! #
• Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! #
• google source says this week’s update "accidentally" punished more than 100k sites. Solution? Ask for reconsideration using WMC. #
• Confirmed with google that this update: *entirely* targeting text links. Drop ‘em. Apply. Get reinstated. Bullying but simple. #
• @chrisgarrett – team needs to have some discussions, but yeah. Bullied by google, but we can’t afford to lose that 15% of our traffic. #

• Alright, 5:30 local time. I’m fried out of my gourd. Disappointed dinner meet was cancelled, but secretly very, very glad for the sleep. #
• Flying Virgin America tomorrow to NYC. Looking forward to the experience, since I consulte on the concept early on :) #
• Ahem, consulted. #
• @marshallk – you gonna blog this developing story fo big blogs and networks having their PR kicked in the nads by google? #
• Weird thing about today’s google smack of blog networks? We don’t actually cross-link all our sites, just per vertical. To avoid this! #
• Virgin america flight review tweets for next few hours. #
• I’m in main cabin thgis flight, but will be in first to blogworldexpo. So was scoping both out. First looks above avera (for america). #
• Mood lighting takes a second to get used to, but is.nice. Red, the onboard entertainment system, looks fab. #
• Can’t find keyboard for cat. Nice to see that a *lot* of the ideas my team generated early in the va/vx planning phases made it through! #
• Va: checkin was 3 minutes. Security at sfo was 5. All very good. Gate was nothing special. Pre-boarding you pick up *real* headsets. #
• Whoos and boos from flight comin’ up! #
• Whoo @ games. Whoo @ dish tv. Whoo @ ability to order your food when you want. Whoo @ sigh for when to use gadgetsm #
• Whoo @ solid tv and movie options. Whoo @ food quality. Whoo @ happy staffy’s. Whoo @ humour on plane. Whoo @ seat quality / size. #
• Whoo @ dedicated remote w/ keyboard. #
• Boo @ having to pay for movies and on-demand tv. Whoo if that keeps fares low though! #
• Wow, 23 emails related to this google pr thing. Will have an official response later tonight. #
• Short version: we were playing nice. We weren’t engaged in massive cross-linking. We believe in content over pr. #
• Oh,n and this isn’t a shot at blog networks. It’s at all kinds of coontent sites, including forbes, washington post, etc. #
• Ps: b5′ll be taking a "watch and see" approach, monitoring our omniture data very closely, to see if this is a real thing or just temp. #
• More quick facts on this google update: more’n half the sites were major content and news sources. Less’n half were sellling links. #
