Jeremy Goodrich's Blog

Check this out. John Battelle, if you didn't know, is awesome. The guy is a genius, and he has a knack for pulling off accurate "envisioneering" in the search & media spaces. What I mean by that is if you wanted to know who can predict the future of media, with reasonable accuracy, this would be the guy to read.

Now, I don't pay much attention to magazines. However, when some fucktard called e jean carole, advice columnist tries to rank for MY business, I get antsy.

Not only that, I get downright pissed. Who is this bitch? I say that because if it was a man, I'd be calling her an asshole. The reason being: I can't prove that they did this on ACCIDENT, especially since FunAdvice is 50% bigger than Elle magazine, I have to believe it was malicious.

Now, I'm not one for conspiracy theories, however, as a former Yahoo employee, I know a thing or two about their search engine. Most of which (actually, all of it) I'm bound by NDA not to repeat.

However, this shit is royally pissing me off.

I tried out friendfeed, but, they used our home page questions instead of my activity feed :( Blast.

Check out Jeremy Goodrich's friendfeed profile here. If they could fix that, I'd be more interested in their service, however, if they can't...ugh. Well, they did email me offering help - just haven't solved the issue yet.

Both our "hobby" site, and a client site, are getting some serious, record traffic. How ...awesome, seriously.

The folks at the client company (shhh) have TONS more upside, however, it's really touch to figure out, a priori, what the limit is on the upside. So my guess was 15-25%, and today, the upside only five days post release was 25%, which I'm expecting to go a bit higher.

As for our hobby site, my expectation is in two weeks, we'll be at 15%+ our current numbers, which will put us at nearly 2.5 million month visitors for September. Awesome.

What...is...this: answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080627172830AAMRaAe

That's what I found this evening.

What _the_fuck.

If that doesn't disappear, FAST, I'll be investigating my legal options.

Fucking_shit.

I know, I know - this template is an eyesore (it's out of the box, and boring).

However, if you'd like to see something professional, check this out: Jeremy Goodrich on LinkedIn. It's my resume, all neat & tidy. Or, tidy & neat, if you prefer.

How can I help you? I'm positive I can, and I'd like to. Feel free to get in touch.

So the fuckwit of the week is Cinterim, and the jackass that answered the phone couldn't even tell me WHERE he got my info.

Look, people, it's pretty simple: if you go round pissing on people, you will go out of business. Me, and six billion other potential customers, do NOT like to be treated like idiots.

How about this: if you are considering doing business with these assholes, think twice. Can you do business with somebody who breaks the law and disrespects due process? I hope not.

The kind folks at Rackspace are going to investigate...nothing, literally, NOTHING changed on the blog. However, somebody (or something) changed the database login credential...but, only three people have access to the server (other than Rackspace).

WTF???? I'm still irked, but at least they helped me fix it. Seriously, the only reason to pay them $$$ is you can call them on the phone, and they'll help out, as much as they can. HUGE thanks to them. No other company I've met has that kind of customer service. When they say "fanatic support" they mean it.

Seriously, you shouldn't be reading this.
