I guess I should probably start with giving you, dear readers a little bit more of an insight into the sort of things I enjoy. We can come on to things I don't later.... I'm a bit of a techie geek, and I really enjoy looking at the way new gadgets work, and how they use new technology. I like the internet, because it has lots of cool stuff to read and learn about. I like science and maths (see, told you I was a geek) and I like trying to understand how and why things work - that includes life by the way :-)
I like to read other peoples blogs, and I find it helps me to understand how people work, something that I am not great at, and sometimes I read something that I really enjoy, or that makes me think and perhaps do a little research, and that is nice too. Part of the reason for this blog is to have somewhere to keep links to other peoples thoughts, so that I can organise them in my head, and I can track them back to the people who thought them. The first one that comes to mind is about search engine optimisation. I like search engines, they are useful tools for finding things, and they have cool mathematics behind them in the form of algorythms that power the search.
It seems to me that as the internet gets more and more cluttered that ability of search engines to find relevant content becomes increasingly important, and well designed websites with good quality information deserve to be ranked higher. This blog post SEO rantings of a chat room reject is by an SEO specialist that I kinda get in that she thinks about optimising websites based on quality rather than anything else, and seems to get the technical background to understanding the way search engines work. I like that, so I'm following her blog with interest....
