Well it appears that Yahoo has rejected the unsolicited bid from the evil empire! In my opinion this is a great day for small businesses. I can imagine nothing worse for the future of the internet than a domination by Microsoft. While Google may have a strangle  hold on the search and advertising business on the internet, they have gotten it the honest way- by commitment to an ever improved service to their user base. They early on developted a corporate strategy of "do no evil" which is about the polar opposite of Microsoft.  Google has gone to the top based upon a free market choice of their services due to the quality they provide their users. Microsoft has historically made it to the top by rolling over competition and forcing their users into  having no choice except what they choose to provide. Their products   typically are  either a rip off of someone else (i.e. Windows) or  promoted by forcing competition out of business   by bundling tactics (i.e. Internet Explorer).

As is evident from the posting dates, I have been only intermittently  posting to this blog since I launched the site several months ago. I do this as an area of interest to me , and at this point it is not a significant income source for me. I had focused on promotion to achieve a decent pagerank, which I think I have accomplished with a respectable pagerank of 4 in a period of less than 6 months of lmiited effort. Much of my internet  marketing work has   been on other sites that are bringing me a regular stream of income. However, the main things that consume most of my time are my work as a forensic psychologist, my family, and other hobbies. Those always come first in my life, but I think I have developed a plan to allow me to focus more time on this blog.
