This is crazy. I thought the traffic would die down. It’s increased! I think half the traffic today came from Gorilla Mask so thanks to them and also thanks to John Battelle. This stat watching is tiring!

Scoble, Techcrunch, Techmeme, front page of Del.icio.us and populicio.us. Shame I didn’t get higher in Digg, but 89 Diggs is great.

Big thanks to the folks in Blacknight Solutions who easily handled the traffic surge. It’s crazy to see how much bandwidth this ate up too over the past 24 hours. EDIT: Paul from Blacknight let me know I transfered 7 gigs of data today. Damn.
I didn’t beat the Infactahnista’s record of 20k visitors in one day but I got close enough. Thanks to everyone who left comments and linked to me. It really does show that sex and Google does sell.
But holy fuck I made Fleshbot. Woo, I’m so honoured.

I’m sure I’ll be editing the previous post to add in tips on how to use Froogle to find the cheapest chocolates and roses. There was talk of another few guides such as “How to get laid using Yahoo!” and “How to get laid using MSN”. I’m sure there’s far too many jokes that if Microsoft helped you to get laid you’d pick up every type of virus known to humanity.
This article is about using the many Google sites and applications to get yourself a girl and get yourself laid. In it we’re going to use a guy called Johnny McCool. Johnny is a 22 year old Internet nerd. He works as a programmer with some megacorp, went straight from the computer labs in college to the cubicle farm. He needs to get out more and he needs a girlfriend.

a) Getting yourself found.
b) Profiling the person
Getting yourself found.
The Google search engine is a very powerful way of getting yourself found. A good way to get yourself found is to create your own website with lots of details about yourself on it. Or rather lots of untrue crap that you hope some girl will find appealing. Since Johnny McCool is using his real name then it makes sense for him to register JohnnyMcCool.com. To get yourself found you will need to structure your site in such a way as to make it “search engine friendly”. This means a few things such as figuring out what words you want people to use when they search for you and then seeding your webpages with those search terms. Further to this, the more you update the site, the more Google will visit and the higher up in search results you’ll be. Google rewards you for fresh content. Therefore set up a blog on your site.
Now, it would also be good to create content that women like and use this as the honeypot to get them to your site. Have lots of links on every page to your profile on networks such as Orkut (more below), have lots of good pictures of yourself (see the piece on Picasa below) and have contact details for you readily available. Think of articles such as “Why as a man I think it is ok to cry” and “I can be tough but emotional at the same time”. Don’t forget to sprinkle with trigger phrases such as “modern man” “strong but sensitive”. Don’t go too far though, or your male friends might beat you up .. in Second Life.
Profiling the person
Profiling is researching someone so you are better informed on how to woo them. Woo, not stalk. It’s a thin line folks but a line nonetheless. Google will allow you to search forums, sites and blogs for people looking for their ideal man. It is best to search for phrases with the names of local places so that you don’t have to travel 100s of miles to meet women.
As well as finding specific women, you can also use Google to find out what women want. A few simple google phrases will deliver you lists of things they want in a perfect mate. There are 1000s of websites out there devoted to women saying what they look for in a man. Go Google them.
Google AdWords allow you to advertise on search results pages and on the 100s of 1000s of websites that run Google Ads. You only pay when someone clicks on your ad. This means that if someone is searching for something you can choose to have an ad appear for that search phrase. Johnny McCool can have an ad for his website JohnnyMcCool.com
when someone searches for the phrase: Does mr. right exist? and when the results page appears, the ad will be on the right hand side:


Finding someones gmail is easy enough nowadays and with Google making us all be adult and use firstname.lastname style combinations it should be easy to guess the email addreses of people you’d like to date. GMail and GTalk conversations are stored in your GMail account too so it is very easy to search over past conversations to “remember” what her interests are.
But the important thing about GMail is that it is a conduit to open a chat window with the person thanks to the full integration with Google Talk. You got her GMail then you can chat with her. Always have another browser window open with search results for her name and another window with search results for “non-schmaltzy chat-up lines”. Get charming.

She found me because I was viral.

Years back Ze Frank created a video on how to dance properly. It soon got passed all around the Internet and made him famous for a while. You too could do the same. Stick your gmail address and website address into the video so you can be found and contacted.
Or you could do what famous Sligo Tourism Representative Aine Chambers did and talk about something like tourism while highlighting all your own best features. Here’s Aine: 
You just need to be creative. But you wouldn’t be reading this if you were, right? Thought so. So instead, create a video of you saving whales or helping old ladies across the road. Again stick your email address and website url into the video. Maybe include a few videos of you shedding some tears. Women love to see emotional men. But they also like jerks. So also have a video showing you can be a total asshole.

You’re going to piss women off. It happens when you are unskilled in the woman-dating game. It’s ok. However, it would be good to know who is pissed off and writing about you online. Thanks to Google Alerts you can get email alerts when anything new is found by Google with the search criteria you set. But don’t stop at your name. Also have searches for potential dates by including names of Girls you’ve found on Google. As well as that include the names of the bars and clubs in your city, town, village, truck stop so that if someone mentions they were out clubbing at “The Dancing Donkey” last night, you’ll know about it. Alerts help you to find local people. It might be good too to just have a Google Alert to notidy you if the local stalking laws in your area get updated. Just saying, is all.

Well Johnny is a nerd and a man. There’s no need to go the extra mile and email her the Google map. She’ll make it there by asking for directions if she gets lost. Yes, that’s what women do. Really. Google it if you don’t believe it. Arranging dates and finding locations using Google Maps is a good idea. Knowing where she lives or roughly and then using Google Maps to pick a nearby restaurant and bar is a better idea. That way you can walk her home and maybe just maybe she’ll invite you in for a coffee.
Also make sure the places you go and her place are not near your place. While you are happy to go to he place, you do not want her to be horrified if she visits your lair. All the cartoon posters and pizza boxes might put her off. Women also don’t like Thundercats bed sheets. Additionally, if it all goes pear shaped and she takes out that court order saying you are not to be within 400 feet of her, it would cut down on the embarassing moments when you bump into her in the local grocery store.
Another social networking site. Orkut is ancient Brazilian for “place to find people who will have sex with you”. This is why Orkut is full of Brazilians.

Like all other social-networking aka cruising sites, you can take other parts of the Google dating plan and integrate them into this. Use your google email, google talk, use the “improved” photos from Picasa and link to your soft and bastard videos.

You need a central place to remember the birthdays and times you are meeting the girls. Yes, girls. Plural. There’ll be more than one. Google is so powerful it turns you into a player. In fact, it’s even more powerful than that and you can go from a player to a playa. No, we don’t know the difference either. Thanks to the Google Calendar you can keep track of all of the dates and all of the times. Thanks Google!
So you’re on the date and she is the well educated type. She uses big words like symbolic, quasi-judicial and laudable. Under the table just text Google Mobile and ask what she is on about.

Unfortunately the profiling with Google search won’t reveal everything about your date so Google Mobile will allow you to find out the name of that pansy poet she mentioned that she likes and you can quote from his poems and make it look like you’re quoting it from memory. She may also talk about current affairs and so not knowing anything outside of World of Warcraft and Dungeons and Dragons, you can google for that, right there from your phone.
Google Picasa can be used for creating pictures of Johnny McCool which are very complimentary. Picasa is a quality picture/photo editing tool that Google provides for free.

It allows Johnny to take his existing photo of himself:

And improve it with no glasses, bluer eyes, blonder hair and bigger muscles:


Google base is like the spare room in your house. Any and all kinds of shit are stored in there. Google sticks a search engine onto the front of it and will hire more PhDers to figure out what the fuck to do with the mess that is Google Base. It’s really like a Flea Market except you can also sell your soul to get some hole. Yes, Google Base allows personals. If you don’t like seeing naked pics of people then don’t click that … pointless finishing the sentence since you’ve left already with the naked promise. Just like Orkut, Google Base can be used to store your personal profile but it can also be used to store other content you create like podcasts and videos and pictures.
These are just a few of the ways that you can get laid with the help of Google. There are many more and as time allows we’ll add more to them. Feedback appreciated.
Seems Bertie is saying the election may be held in July 07.
A Bertie version of that Mundy song is sure to happen.
July please,
I’m on my knees,
The smell of you fresh cut grass,
Your blue sky grins
For all its sins
Look another gorgeous levi ass
July people come and go
It looks like another perfect day
Just to see your
Striptease show
July please try your best to stay
And a mongrel begins to bark
At a wino in the park
and his owner doesn’t care
’cause he really isn’t there………
Oh! ma ma ma, oh! ma ma ma, oh! ma ma ma
My july
The Fountain. Really looking forward to this. Aronofsky always has a way of messing with your thoughts.
I want these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking Luas. No? I want these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking 46a? No? How about: I want these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking Dart?
Samuel Jackson stars in Snakes on a Plane where he will utter the immortal line “I want these motherfucking snakes off this motherfucking plane”, which was not in the original movie but thanks to the online population of future fans who got an impersonator to say the line and in turn the studio decided to use the line and refilmed some scenes. And so the fans are writing the films now.
As an aside, since when is Brian O’Driscoll working in hollywood?
And now the point to this post. Via BreakingNews.ie comes news that the Dublin Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has rescued 10 escaped snakes in various parts of Dublin in recent weeks.
If you do find a snake on the run (or is that snake on the slither?), then contact the DSPCA on 01 493 5502/4 to come collect it. They may even send Sam motherfucking Jackson to motherfucking collect the motherfucking snake.
Rang the Government Publications office there to see was there a copy of the Barr Tribunal Report available on cd rom. They said it will be but not right not. It’s in the pipeline but they have no date for when they’ll get it and release it. I’ve emailed the Tribunal email address to see can they provide an electronic copy. If not, anyone want to share the burden of scanning in almost 800 pages and running character recognition software on them?
Update: Email from Barr Tribunal folks.
The CD Rom version of the Report of Mr. Justice Barr will be available from Government Publications at a cost of €5.00 from Monday, 24th July, 2006
FURTHER UPDATE: Barr Tribunal Report in webpage form.
Simon of Dossing Times wonders are voters selfish when it comes to elections?
Politics in this country is at most times selfish. We are increasingly driven by greed and that is not necessarily a good thing.
Meanwhile John Timmons talks about our kids and grankids reading the crap we’re posting right now.
For the first time in the history of man, normal everyday people, the worker drones, the serfs, the loyal subjects in previous eras, will have the unique experience of their children being able to read, see and hear what their parent were doing right here, right now.
The AskDirect blog. Blurb:
Damian O’Broin is founder of Ask Direct, a fundraising and marketing consultancy. With almost 15 years hands-on experience in the not-for-profit sector, Damian is one of Ireland’s leading experts on marketing, communications and fundraising for non-profits.
Unusual market to be in.
What the Internet is in 25 words:
The Internet is the free press of the 21st century. Broadband is Ink; Computers are Pens. Free press means citizens, not broadband providers, control both.
Rad more from Gordon Cook’s blog including why Net Neutrality is not the biggie for our future. Something more sinister is at play.
Phoarrrrrrrrrrrrr. This looks cool.

Generally I only get free brochures thanks to this blog but today a box arrived with packages of tea, coffee, mixed dried fruit and Macadmaia nuts from the Traidlinks organisation’s Heart of Africa brand. The mixed fruit package is fruity and juicy. Was expecting the kind of dried fruit you’d get in cereal. Don’t think I’ve ever had Macadmaia nuts before, they’re nice and kind of meaty. Not tried the tea or coffee idea.
Anyway fair play to the Traidlinks promoters for sending me a package with no requirements to blog about them or spread the word. I like that. I also like that Traidlinks itself is comprised of successful business people who can provide great advice and contacts for the group. You need experience with ideas like this.
Only thing I seem to not know about this is where these goods can be purchased.
