You know how every online guru says that you have to publish to your blog regularly, often, and consistent if you want to have meaning. This wisdom translates "if you want to improve your Alexa Rank". Improving your Alexa Rank shows the world you have good traffic on your website, these attracting advertisers.

Goodbye Google Plus, the Beautiful, the Ambitious, and the Treacherous
Goodbye, Google Plus! I say it now, with two months in advance, just in case. We can't be sure of these two months either, who knows what will happen tomorrow and the mastodon decides to haste the shutdown. I am taking out now, all my links sending to my Google Plus profile and "business pages". I'm glad I have never filled all my data online, as they desired. They already have enough about everybody, so the online socialization loses its sense. Besides, on Google Plus there wasn't advertising, … [Read more...]

The reason is of course psychologically explained. By showing a … [Read more...]
Google Plus – a Fall from Grace
I have never considered myself a nagger regarding every single change in social media, I have always thought that every change is a new step through progress. I have rarely complained, but I have tried to highlight something wrong when I saw it. Of course, we can be more subjective than objective, but there are other factors that recently surfaced and they are based on some statistics. I'm very upset by the disrespect Google shows the users.

The Circle by Dave Eggers, a Book About Unity
Dave Eggers is my new hero. I enjoy his writing more than a lot of other things, lately, more than any Dan Brown, for sample. I'm going to speak my mind about Inferno, last Brown's ultra best selling novel, in a future post on this category. Here, I'm gonna praise Mr. Eggers, for his recent The Circle. I have started his 2012 published novel, A Hologram for the King, which determined me to post immediately. Actually I have finished it in the same day, so I have only one word to say about, it: … [Read more...]
