Who’s the happiest of them all?
April 9th, 2007 Remember how I once claimed I felt the happiest person in the world? Well, apparently I am. As I was trying to figure out google page ranks and SEO optimization indicators for one of Lorelle’s challenges, for want of better keywords I googled: “the happiest person in the world”.
And tadaa: mandarine came out first! That’s right. Of all the hundred thousand million zillion web pages around. My personal helper for language checking becomes my personal happiness oracle. This must be a sign, don’t you think?
Google, oh google on the wall, who’s the happiest of them all?

Emily: I doubt that would have cheered your friend that much…
I love it! Let’s hope it stays that way. You know search engines - a fickle lot they are.
This is exactly why I posted this article! Anyway, I hope my happiness is not so brittle that it could be shattered by a lousy search engine changing its mind.
