I Didn't Even Know

I have 79 Subscribers on Scribd and didn't even know it.

I published some lit stuff there and a lot of cheesy, more fun type stuff.

It was fun.

I like Scribd.

Here are my stats there:

75 documents
424,101 total reads
57 docs added to reading lists
237 total comments

Maybe I should just go hang out there for a while instead of here.

I haven't posted anything there for years.

It' a great group of folks who created that site.

I miss chatting with some of them.

I might as well start looking for other venues. I mean, if I want anybody to read anything I write. And sending stuff to magazines is so 1990s.

Because Google made it impossible for people to find anything I write or have written here.

And I did want to do some other blog projects.

There's one I've been wanting to do for some time but want to do anonymously.

And I suppose I should finish these novels I started.

The one's very close to completion since I wanted it to be a small book anyway.

I asked Google like four times now to help me out with getting reinstated into the search listings.

Not one personal response ever. Just the canned "we will reconsider."

When I pointed out that it would behoove them to just make the process easier and highlight EXACTLY what a blogger must remove to be "in compliance" I got no response either.

They should just tag the stuff and give you a single button you can click to instantly remove anything their web crawlers find "spam-like" or "non-compliant" or whatever.

Yes, how much can one expect from a FREE service. I know, I know. Still.

That's why that person had to use BAIDU (what is that? Chinese search engine?) to find the piece on my blog they wanted.

I asked others for help but nobody offered any assistance.

Why would they? They're poets, right.

Anyway, that's my rant for the day.

Now I can go focus on more pressing forms of life sucking.

And to the person who keeps leaving the unicorn message under the transparent proxy, I know who you are.

And if you need me to refer you to a therapist who will give you an official diagnosis of pathetic (as opposed to my layman diagnosis) feel free to email me.
