Answer to life, the universe, and everything

February 8, 2008

I was reading a blog entry today on Google search hacks, and it reminded me of a funny “calculation.” I tried to comment on the story, but comments were off, forcing me to bore you with this irrelevant tidbit.

It’s a book reference, and a very funny one if you recognize it, or just plain stupid if you don’t.

Do you think Google has the “answer to life the universe and everything?” Apparently, they do! How do you get your hands on this valuable information? Google it, of course.

I Can’t Imagine a Worse Suggestion

I was searching for relevant keywords for Swirl Connect. I don’t recall
exactly what I entered, but I was using keywords similar to “mobile
social software, friend finder, geotag photos, mobile instant
messaging, location based, share photos, share place.” I don’t know
what kind of leap in logic resulted in this suggestion:
