POPSWhy Did Google Choose Berkeley County, South Carolina - The Grand Opening! What a fabulous event! There were costumed greeters and motivational speeches. No matter what you think of Google the "entity" or the "imperialist" - they sure know how "to throw down," as we say. Jody Only was on hand reporting for LowcountryToday.com. Read her "Only in the Lowcountry" report and check out the pics from the Google Grand Opening Gala Event.

POPSGoogle Lost It's Mojo? Oh, No! Last year I clipped a Google Graphic and put it on one of my blogs. It was a patriotic theme that indicated Google celebrates freedom. I just thought the pic was cool, is all. The reply was surprising when someone wrote back and said the only thing Google celebrates is "Imperialism." After thinking about it I decided "yeah, so what?" - look at our Imperialist Presidency. Everything is relative. I hate to hear that the actual Google Plants have to raise prices at the daycare - but look at our economy. I use Google. It's a lionshare of my J*O*B! I am in PR - I need Google to love me, rather, my Clients. I guess it "is what it is". Any other company treating its employees badly I would be on the boycott bandwagon...but this news hits close to home. WoW - where does one separate the line between integrity and hypocrisy? Honestly, the only thing I care about is whether the "searches will suffer". Hummm -that might affect my Karma? What do you think?

POPSIs That Judge Crazy? Viacom vs Google Judgement This is great. I love the comment htread on this one. Are they just palin nuts or just stupid? "12TB on paper I worked out to be about 5 billion pages. Now I don't know how long that will take to print, but if they wanted to print it all in, say, a month, they would need to print nearly 125,000 pages a minute, constantly until then. Personally, I vote that it is spread over loads of floppy disks, all labelled and then mixed into a large pile... 'Please insert disk #2363234' " HeHee!
