We've recently started an independent blog conference on the Well, and Salon blogger Bruce Umbaugh reminded me of a klog-related epiphany I wrote about in an entry back in August called I get it.
At time I asked people to link to it as "xian gets it" but while I was correcting the permalink and a few other links in the article (I left the slightly sloppy draft as is), this time I changed the text to request that anyone linking to the article use the entry's actual title, "I get it." This seems like a much more interesting and valuable phrase to relate to (I imagine the people searching for I get it would be an interesting demographic to be reaching) than some arbitrary assertion about me, with my negative Q rating and all.
Having changed the entry and added an update note at the end, I figured I out to seed the new link. Today Google, tomorrow the world!

I was wondering when the recent PageRank, SearchKing-inspired, and homeland-security aware "Google as Big Brother" tremors in the force would converge on the Blogoogler deal. I started seeing it in my too much blog reading over a long Valentine's-Day weekend and in my aggregator:
Google buys Blogger. Okay - we have to feel good for Evan, who has worked long and hard to make Blogger a reality. Now, he'll finally get paid. But, to me, it's a little unsettling that Blogger is now a Google venture. Especially since Google is so proud of their ability to feed search requests to the FBI and other authorities looking to identify dissidents and protesters - I mean, potential terrorist sympathizers.
