The life cycle of a blog post, from servers to spiders to suits - to you

Image...
You have a blog. You compose a new post. You click Publish and lean back to admire your work. Imperceptibly and all but instantaneously, your post slips into a vast and recursive network of software agents, where it is crawled, indexed, mined, scraped, republished, and propagated throughout the Web. Within minutes, if you've written about a timely and noteworthy topic, a small army of bots will get the word out to anyone remotely interested, from fellow bloggers to corporate marketers.

    It's amazing how quickly things on the net get jumped on. In a world filled with RSS feeds and non-sleeping users surely this is only the beginning?

    Blogs and Wikis form the source for much of my knowledge, a quick search on a blog will lead me to something completely obscure and if I don't understand it, a simple wiki is all that's needed.

    I guess the question lies in if this method of learning is good for our brains, surely part of the fun of having to learn stuff is finding it?

    Imagine if we were hunters, instead of having to chase that tiger around for dinner, we'd click a button and he'd be chopped, boiled and served with potatoes.

    Then again, tiger for dinner anyone?

    where do you blog?? I have some work id like to share.

    p.s. There is alot of Chinese or Japanese maybe both who eat Tiger Penis...You can get it on the black market and most high end restaurants. There was a video of Adam_Yamaguchi eating penis. I was surprised it wasnt on the menu. Probably cuz some organization made it illegal, so its just another lunch payed for under the table. Go ahead & eat up playa.
