A Nastygram for Google Juice
The arrogance of traditional ecommerce never ceases to amaze me. Dean Hunt’s blog happens to rank high in Google SERPs for a certain keyword, and some company wants him to “remove your blog from google for this search term [sic].”

Pitching Tip for Models: Ride a Purple Cow
There’s a million hot naked chicks on the Internet. There’s a difference between those girls and me. Those chicks don’t talk back to you. — Tila Tequila, Queen of MySpace.
I’ve been getting a lot of email pitches from young Filipina models hoping to be featured in the Babes category of this blog.

You need to do something remarkable, in the sense that it’s worth making a remark about. Ride a purple cow, if you will.
You could self-publish like UrFame, or write intelligent blog posts like Anna Bayle, or unleash your inner geek like Alodia Gosiengfiao, or become a YouTube Director like Happy Slip, or become queen of Philippine cosplay like Jerry Polence. Just make sure you come to me with something more remarkable than a bunch of magazine covers.
