Hey ChatGPT, my pronouns are they/them.
Optimizing for search like a sassy old librarian
I think about Maxwell's demon at least once a year. If Google allows valuable content and doesn't index low quality pages, it aims to reduce the disorder and randomness present in its system. EXCEPT that it now introduces disorder in AI answers. It's both a filter and a source of noise.

I made it onto @adweek.bsky.social! Well not really. It was my Unsplash image. But hey, made me smile. Thanks @alertmouse.bsky.social for that. I genuinely enjoy the service.

Recap of IMPORTXML bits SEOs should love:

Fetch the title:

=IMPORTXML(A2, "//title")

Get the meta description:

=IMPORTXML(A2, "//meta[@name='description']/@content")

Get the H1 :
text
=IMPORTXML(A2, "//h1")

Get the Open Graph Title:
=IMPORTXML(A2, "//meta[@property='og:title']/@content")

I'm exhausted from putting effort into messages when people just reply with an emoji. I wish I could “emoji their emoji” to signal that I'm done taking initiative, now it’s up to them to continue the conversation.

Has genZ found a solution to this?

If you're using a cloud provider to host images / videos / other content, you can and should verify the host in Search Console, so that you're aware of potential issues that affect Google's crawling & indexing, & Safe Browsing. Use a DNS CNAME to the bucket, then verify with DNS. More: (1/n)

Met a lot of new people at a conference. One of them in the speaker WhatsApp group is super polite and kind. They wish folks good night, sweet dreams, etc.

ME: sends a link to a medical study on the impact of micro plastics in tea bags at midnight cause we both like tea.

Sigh. Goodnight I guess

🌶️🧠 Being "neurospicy" or "care about what others care about" Really enjoyed this talk by Myriam Jessier on unique traits of people with ADHD. Anyone can benefit from it as a way to build empathy and compassion for better relationships with people you care about and work with. 👀 My favourite two snippets: 1. You can't pick just the good parts; you get the full package only. (This mental model is a great fix for jealousy too.) 2. Creating a user manual or blueprint to share context with others on your working style can improve collaboration. Insights that resonated with me: 👉 Stress and anxiety may trigger hyper-focus, but it's an elusive state 👉 Lists don't work → overanalyzing expands 3 bullets to 30 without doing any 👉 Interrupt me, because I can keep talking 👉 Get to the point; I get bored easily, even by my own sentences 👉...

why are empty social displays so popular on LinkedIn? I'd like to share the cool shit I'm working on but what's the point when it gets drowned out? It's sad.

After ytd's discussion with Myriam, I felt like creating my own version of the post's #dataviz.
I'm not a fan of mirrored line charts 🤨🪞🤨 & that's putting it mildly. I understand why that choice is often made, so I implemented a toggle. 😁

It's good. It works! And it's actually useful.
I've got a new job today: alertmouse.com

Not leaving my other jobs, but alongside my friends Adam & Nathan, we built a "what if Google Alerts was really good?" product.

Your first alert is free forever; I suspect that if Google's let you down the way it has me, you'll like it a lot 😎👇

Major milestone: AI-generated articles now officially outnumber human-written ones online. Search engines still favor uniquely human content. BUT, it's a new chapter leading us to think about how knowledge is produced and surfaced on the web.

A “costume” label in Google Trends filters for literal, entity-specific searches, while a “topic” aggregates all related global searches and synonyms under one concept. Categories are narrow and precise; topics are broad and algorithmically clustered.

Someone said I'm the human equivalent of a query fan out and I can't unhear this. I have been laughing for a solid minute now.
