Ranta

Monday, October 26th, 2009

I often check the results for my name with a google search. I don’t know, it’s just something I do sometimes. I recommend everyone do it as anyone can google your name, it’s nice to know what is returned. I’ve had the number one spot for a while now for “Josh Ranta”. Easy enough, it’s not that popular of a name. My last name has been a little harder to tackle. It’s a popular name in Finland as Ranta means “beach” there. Well, several months ago I noticed after my site had been up for a while I was number 1 for “Josh Ranta” but something like number 35 for “Ranta”. (For those of you who don’t know, by the number, I mean the page number I fall under for the search result.) After working with some SEO I’m now up to page number 17 for “Ranta” and still increasing. Not bad, I’m kinda pleased with that. Keep going!

Did You Know? Data gets old.

My friend sent me this video the other day, I haven’t watched it since the professor played it for us the first day of one of my classes. I remember thinking, “How much of those are real, hard facts? How much of that data has changed since that video was made?” My friend thinks it’s a bunch of bullshit. He said, “That video cracked me because it’s a bunch of bullshit. How can you be trained in technology that doesn’t exist? ”

I know there’s a lot of you out there who have seen this video and I wonder, what is your opinion? We had a class discussion about it for the rest of my first day in class. It’s nice to see it again and think again, how much more has this data changed?
