Re: [silk] online map suggestions.....
Maplib.net is exactly what you need. It allows you to upload any photo (so you aren't limited to google maps' photo (think a photo of pre-partition India, showing the princely states) and then put your flags on it! See what I did with a top-down photo of the Bishop Cottons' campus. http://www.maplib.net/map.php?id=109 - Vinit -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] et] On Behalf Of Bharath Chari Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 12:58 AM To: silklist@lists.hserus.net Subject: Re: [silk] online map suggestions.

Interesting. http://www.google.co.in/search?q=udhay For the first time that I can think of, my homepage is not the first result for udhay. It seems to be a page with no incoming links: http://www.google.co.in/search?as_lq=udhyakumar.tripod.combtnG=Search Any ideas what's up with that?

It seems to be a page with no incoming links: PageRank is obsolete. It worked in the era of the read-only web, but wasn't designed to handle read-write. Spam blogs are entirely the result of this shortcoming. Unless they come up with a new algorithm, fast, Google's search relevance is going the way of Altavista's. Their crude attempts at patching the leaks aren't working well enough. Providers like Technorati, Techmeme and Tailrank are already chipping away at the niche categories. I suffered a server crash a couple of months ago, couldn't attend to it for a week, and since then have dropped off the first page of results for all of jace, kiran, and jonnalagadda, where previously I was first result against my last name and at least in the top five for the others, across five years. No explanation for what changed other than the site throwing up a 503 when GoogleBot came by. -- Kiran Jonnalagadda http://jace.seacrow.com/
