The Days of Dial-Up BBS Systems May be Long Gone

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

jamesmanBBS systems of ages past (aka “Middle School”) never had the kind of technology that makes the Marvel Comics website what it is today.  Although I can’t say I learned anything about anything else ever because of Flash media, the fact that I can spend less than a half an hour turning myself into a ridiculous super hero is better than anything dial up ever had to offer me.  I will probably always prefer jQuery and some SVG goodness to Flash and it’s proprietary elitism, but daggone… I’m a superhero.

I’m not talking about paid marketing here. I’m talking about hormone free well fed optimization that results in highly valued well listed results on search engines. This is going to involve time, well written articles, and well placed links within social networking, news, and media sites. If you’re not using Facebook, get on the bandwagon, you could be more outdated than you think. We’re on LinkedIn.com, are you?

Thank you for visiting this site. The web fairy will visit you in your sleep... you know, I was going somewhere with this, but it really doesn't have as much innocent charm as the tooth fairy, especially when I picture the web fairy as someone much like the Simpsons' Comic Book Guy but with wings. It's just not something I want.
