net-culture”

Upon quasi-close review of my web site sta­tis­tics (yes, I do know when you visit here), my trust in the valid­ity of search engines (Google being the prime cul­prit) is hindered.

Appar­ently, search­ing for the word "thong" sends peo­ple to my site. Why? I have an entry enti­tled "State of the Thong Address", which was a joke between a friend and I relat­ing to the con­ver­sa­tion in that entry. OK, so one down.

The prob­lem with this is that any yahoo (no pun intended, I assure you) who is look­ing for info (?) or pic­tures of thongs is directed to this jour­nal, which, at last check, con­tains nei­ther. Per­haps I should include a thong page just for those hun­gry indi­vid­u­als? No, prob­a­bly not any­time soon (read: ever).

Which brings us to num­ber two on our search engine count­down, "hehe".

What per­son in their right mind (and I'll con­tend that there are mil­lions that don't fit that descrip­tion) would actu­ally go and look for that one word? Per­haps they don't know what it means? It's not a com­pli­cated word, like "face­tious". ;)

Please, peo­ple who fall into either cat­e­gory dis­cussed here, stop com­ing to my jour­nal! It con­tains none of what you seek. Move along, elsewhere.*

Although I am a mem­ber of this "net-culture", I will not, if I live to see 1000, under­stand the great major­ity of it.

* The irony of this, of course, is that my inclu­sion of the words above will no doubt bring more of the same peo­ple here. *sigh*
