joat,

You're right. Or, sobbing uncontrollably while sitting on a park bench with your laptop. :(

[jackofalltrades]

Itll just start people talking....

....best to go crazy in the privacy of your own home (or at work, but at least your colleagues already know that you're weird!)

;)

I just tried link:www.microsoft.com 'cause I got tired of seeing 657'000. Noticed for the first time that the result number one is a page titled 'About TRUSTe' and the description 'TRUSTe is an independent, non-profit, global initiative aimed at building trust and confidence...'

Somehow ironic... :)

[djgreg]

Don't you think Microsoft respects our privacy? ;-)
By the way, why doesn't the board change the ;-) into the graphical version? I haveb't disabled the graphic smilies!

[Liane]

That's because the code isn't ;-). Click on the style codes button and check again. :)

[Helpmebe1]

yeah dj gregers... stop drinking and spinning those chewy chewy records so late

[djgreg]

HM, okay I try again:
;)

Yeah now I know!
Never saw a smilie only with a ; and a )

Thanks

I can't stop drinking, although I maybe drunk now.

[egomaniac]

I am going to go get a tattoo...

657,000

THIS should get the update started!

[Helpmebe1]

a couple of rum and cokes will always fowl up the ability to post first thing in the morning :)

[deltakits]

egomaniac,

I think you're on to something (or on something?)! Let us know how it works out for you!

[deltakits]

We should have a contest!

The first person to get an actual Google tattoo and posts a pic on WW, wins something...Vacation perhaps! ;)

What do you think?

[atadams]

How about the first person to get a Google tattoo gets a lifetime 1st place ranking on the keyword of their choice! How 'bout it Googleguy? Can you swing that one?

[Helpmebe1]

hmmm..do temporary tats count? I dont know if I am that addicted to google to get them permanently on me..

[djgreg]

Argh, nothing happening, I hate waiting...

[deltakits]

No Temps!

You have to show your ultimate commitment to Google, and a temp won't cut it!

;)

Can you imagine the person who won this contest six years ago and is sporting an Altavista tattoo? :)

[djgreg]

Maybe it's you?

[jackofalltrades]

wasnt their some uk based promo for a games company (i think they won an xbox) for having the names changed or something tatooed on their forehead, or having their legs cut off or some other dumb ass thing like that?

im sure i read that somewhere...

people really will do some stupid things to be in the paper and get some free stuff! ;)

Im off to the tatoo parlour...

You think that's bad? I'm really getting tired of telling people what "I (heart graphic) NBCi" means.

[dogboy]

>>'and the kids they dance and shake their bones'
>'and the politicians throwing stones'

...mona, looks like the first two lines are happening... I hope we don't start singing the chorus to that song too soon;)

[onionrep]

I think I have an acute case of googleitis :(

Every month now I sess about this update stuff.

All veeeery stressful, only google has the cure, cure us! cure us! you wicked beasts!

[RuglesHome]

"ashes to ashes all fall down"

[dogboy]

>>>'and the kids they dance and shake their bones'
>>'and the politicians throwing stones'
>chorus: 'ashes to ashes all fall down'

.... I'm hoping we will break into 'IKO, IKO' ...or even 'The Women are Smarter'... before we come to that part of the song.

....Good luck

[RuglesHome]

How about Not Fade Away?

[dogboy]

ROFLLLLLLLL..... much better.... that should be the theme song!

[mykel]

Well, as long as we're talking Stones, how about "I can't get no satisfaction"? :)

[bateman_ap]

>wasnt their some uk based promo for a games company (i >think they won an xbox) for having the names changed or >something tatooed on their forehead, or having their legs >cut off or some other dumb ass thing like that?

It was change their name, now what was it to, err, pretty sure it was turok

[makemetop]

Hate to be an utter bore - but!

Could any mention of 'update' or 'wwwx' be shifted to the Google 'discussion' thread unless the poster has at least 500 posts - please? We know when certain posters say 'update' - it is an update! Experience tells!

I understand the excitement of the newbies, we all were there. Filling up WebmasterWorld with every comment on a maybe/willbe/hasbeen/wasn't/ update is getting a little too much :)

I know the Moderators work hard to control this - but stick all the new postings (less than 500) with this header into the main 'pit' of discussion - please?

<edit> Jeez - I just read this and ask you to forgive my anger. I've done this too long, probably am a bit too demanding and certainly too arrogant! However, I still believe the sentiments are true </edit>
