Google's blog and Wannatech

It's been almost two months since I wrote about Google Marratech and TechCrunch, and until this day, that particular post is one of the most visited of this blog with the post about Melinda Dolittle being eliminated on American Idol. Why is that post so popular? Most importantly, how are people regularly being sent to it directly? They are coming from Google's blog. Of the over 100 links featured on the page containing that article, mine is currently showing at the sixth position from the top. Being positioned so closely to the top is achieved by not linking to the blog as soon as the post is published but only later on after most people have reacted on the news on their blog. I'm sure that the 100th link gets fewer clicks than mine.

Melinda goes home

Don't say you're surprised. America probably got as tired from her as the judges did. When they told her she was "consistent" it sounded like they were saying she was consistently boring. They sat through her performances knowing exactly what to expect so in the end well.... there's nothing to say.
On the other hand, Blake has his Beat Boxing working for him and Jordin is the cute teen ager they just love. How many times have we heard "You're only 17.." on the show, too many times if you ask me. Now Jordin is the one saying "I'm only 17..." please give me a break, so what you're only 17? The truth is, the judges love her and they wanted her to win, they've pushed her as a front runner while dropping Lakisha and now I'm sure they're all be rooting for her against Blake.

Speaking of Blake...I was surprised they didn't use the word Karaoke after he sang "This Love" in the semi finals. It's a popular song, I didn't feel Blake added much to it.
