Peace Y'All + Our 50th Post!

First off, DazzlinDonna over at SEO Scoop developed a brilliant web site, ForPeaceNow.com where you can get and place these awesome kick ass badges to display on your blog/web site/whatever. Donna wrote a really interesting post here about getting back to Peace, and the web site is a spin off from there (at least I think that's the correct sequence of events). We thank you Donna for such an inspirational idea, and we support the effort!

Note from Claude: So my only problem is that while supporting Peace overall, I still have a really foul mouth and like to call some sh*t out from time to time. Ok, so maybe sometimes more frequent than that metric, but still. So I hope this is not an inherent conflict, becuz we like to rant sometimes and hope that that part is still cool-n-the gang?

Side Note from Claude: So my other complaint I'd like to lodge here is with current Facebook makers of Scrabble game. Yo! What the F is going on with your SH*T?!?!? Could you PLEASE for the love of the big "G" spend some time going through all of your user feedback forums, throw a sh*tload of $$ at this application ASAP and make it happen?! I heard it through the grapevine, that you're app is WHACK right now. Get your reputation management PANTS ON!

Ok, so back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Right and so the one last thing we wanted to mention is we just celebrated our 5oth Mystery Dinner Guest blog post! A huge thank you to our parents, our siblings, and our loyal rock star fans out there for all your eyes and time. We hope you keep on rockin' the next 50 posts with us.

Peace Out,
Mystery Dinner Guest & Claude

Reasons for Cuil's Less than Stellar Launch Include Strawberries and Muffins, Oh My!

This just in, we now have some factual information to back up what may have triggered the series of most unfortunate events with the recent launch of wanna be Google killer "Cuil". According to a few online sources, Cuil whittled away their $33 million dollar VC backing on strawberries and muffins, free lunches every day, uber-flexible work schedules, and extravagent first class plane tickets.

According to UK based The Register, more recent issues with the new search engine include exposing people to excessive amounts of unsolicited porn, a result they say which was caused by some "serious file corruption". Things are not rolling along smoothly for launch week.

But, they have one ace up their sleeve... online super hero Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land and now Editor-at-Large for Sphinn, turns out to be friends of one of the people involved in launching Cuil. Is it coincidence then his reviews of the product are mainly positive, upbeat, and he seems to be spear heading up the Cuil reputation management defense?

It's amazing what little $33 million can buy you some days.

Peace Out,
Mystery Dinner Guest & Claude

Bye Bye Manny and Good Luck!

Well maybe that explains Manny's jog the other night. And possibly the overall less than stellar team performance. We just heard the news last night a little past 5pm that Manny is leaving the Red Sox! At first, it felt like shock and awe. We're really going to miss:

• the tremendous amount of tar he managed to fit on his helmet
• the patented toss of the helmet, passing 2nd or 3rd base on a home run hit
• manny being manny
• manny's hair
• manny's smile
• manny's sense of humor
  

Good luck to you Manny in your new digs. And we hope that your real reason for you leaving us isn't the US Dollar, cuz that would just be, like, tremendously sad and incredibly vacuous.

Game back on! Let's go Red Sox, Let's Go!!!

Peace out,
Claude + MDG
