Well, I took a few minutes and did Day 1 of the Da Vinci Code puzzle on Google. It seems really strange to me that they’re doing something like this. But that’s about all I have to say about this.
Update: website is online at temporary location googleboard.com.
Looks like Google’s making good use of their acquisition of Urchin. Like Picasa and Keyhole, Google is turning acquired products into products of their own by applying a Google flavor and then reducing the price (because they can). And having the name of Google behind it is likely to make the new Google Analytics one of the most popular statistics sites around. In fact, when I signed up today, I went to add it to my Google Forums. Much to my surprise, it was already there! (But under a different account.) Presumably, Darren (the other administrator) signed up and added the code.
dude66, one of the moderators on my Google Community forum, apparently had his account stolen and thus deleted all of the posts in the Books forum as well as some of those from the Games forum.
..have happened in the past few days. I shuffled around some sites, created a donate page for the solar car project, and snapped up gsearchblog.com. Dunno, I just like doing stuff like that. I’ve also tried some new AdSense placements, specifically, on Invision Plus. The problem with a forum community is that they retaliate against any changes :-). Since they won’t tolerate ads on the top or sides, AdSense is on the bottom — and due to sheer volume — the site generates more than any other of mine. It’s a pity I don’t have more fine-tuned control over the layout of every forum.
We had a little spamming incident yesterday and today. Someone posted meaningless jibberish on all forums, including an obscene image. It took some work to clean up, but I think I’m better having had the experience. For one thing, I’ve now installed (and used) a phpBB mod that allows me to delete all of a user’s posts with a click. The question I want to ask is: Why?
