GhostSites commented on "TechNigga" comic's made-for-Valleywag video

"I'm so glad we're discussing puppets, instead of that tired old Boing Boing mess. Look for the New York Times to have Loren's picture in its print edition next week!"

GhostSites commented on Did the Internet's free-speech guardians try to hush up a girl-on-girl love affair?

"I especially appreciated the following passage in Boing Boing's defensive post: "In the meantime, Boing Boing's past content is indexed on the Wayback Machine, a basic Internet resource; so the material should still be available for those who would like to read it."

GhostSites commented on Google assigns dollar value to search results

"It's also highly possible that this ability to specifically quantify the monetary of organic results can be used to steer searchers towards sites/Blogs that run Adsense instead of ads run by a competing ad network. So you can buy Adwords or sell Adwords, and still get enough juice to pay your cabfare."

GhostSites commented on What does Vint Cerf do at Google?

" I have always believed that the best way for Microsoft to attack Google is through a direct assault on its partner network."
