Flash » Epic 2015 - You've got to check out this flash storyline created by Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson, hosted over at Albinoblacksheep.com. This quasi-documentary starts of with facts based on the search engines andShopping technologies that exist and formulate a future that takes place in 2015 with the evolving of news ans search online. Cataclysmic is its undertone, but one can certainly feel that this is a relative path we may be headed toward. Traditional media destroyed in the wake of newfound corporate mega applications and data hoarding and the complete loss of annonymity. Also unsaid but certainly reverberating in the background is a soundtrack telling of a compromising security that can either doom society and plunge back into survival of the fittest in the most superficial and ancient way or, it can create communities of strength, with a diminishing crminal intent.

Either way, form your own opinions and then comment here to let me know what you think...

Wiser About The Web

This article dated on the 27th of March (Today is the 21st...), is pretty indicative of the trends surounding online marketing and SEO/SEM. I've been involved in the online world for over 12 years now and I have seen quite a few things progress. One of them is definately online tracking. This is a definate read if you are interested in the sorts of data advertising agencies and Search marketing firms acquire. If you couple those measurements with the metrics data search engines like Google and Yahoo collect/provide, you can see how truly little annomity we have online. Scary though, but the complete truth.
