Scripting News: Why Google should know my blog

Thursday June 13, 2024; 9:19 AM EDT

I did a search on my site for NakedJen. #
Google thinks I meant "Naked Men."#
This is why Google should know I have a blog and it has it indexed, and if it just looks it would know that question shows how dumb it is. #
When I type my mother's name in, searching on my own blog (again) it tries to correct the spelling of her name. My own mother's name.#
Google started out so smart then they must have lost all the smart people. Or they got stupid? I don't know. But there's so much they could do to improve their product, it would be sensible to, while they're shooting for the fences, do the small things that would give users an idea that there's some humanity to the product. #
NakedJen or "Naked Men."#
PS: ChatGPT should also know where my blog is, and it should be constantly loading the updates. This is the freaking breakthrough. Do it. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
