Um, isn't this what they did to get their current homepage? Who designed it if it wasn't Google? Oh... wait. Does that mean: "What if Google, the company, had to design their user interface so that it ranked high on the Google search engine?" I think I get it now. But I also think I have to agree with reisio. Case in point: go to Google and search on "liminality." First result is Wikipedia, not surprisingly. Second result? Me. Now search on "what is liminality" (in quotes). First result? Me (without quotes I'm second, again after Wikipedia). And I used none of those techniques mentioned. I don't even have a "links" page (anymore). I understand that it was an attempt at humor, but it didn't strike me as all that funny, maybe because I was confused by the title question. A more accurate title would be: "What if the user interface for Google were designed by someone who was obsessed with SEO techniques and not really interested in content or usefulness?" But then I guess maybe it wouldn't be as funny(?). Having a wet blanket day today. Sorry. :p [img]http://www.liminality.org/asylum/sigs/suho_taegeuk_sig2.gif[/img] ___________________________ Suho: [url=http://www.liminality.org]www.liminality.org[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/4837]Cell 270[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/5689]Sig Rotator[/url] \| [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/22173]the Fellowship of Sup[/url] Loading...
