PageRank Status Extension for Google Chrome



Really great extension. Everything is pretty straightforward and easy to use and the best part...it runs flawlessly with the exception of a few sites alexa hasn't included.

Very simple and self explanatory. Click on the little extension icon which looks like a bar from a bar graph and you get a drop down of the site your visiting in regards to their Google page-rank, Alexa page-rank and Geo-Location(which includes IP address, country and city if available). That is all on the top half. Below, you can choose from options of site information from varying sites and services such as Google Trends, Bing Indexed Pages, Google +1's etc. Incredibly interesting regardless of whether you actually need the information but for those who own sites and depend on traffic, keywords, placement and such should add this ASAP and make your life A HELL OF A LOT EASIER. At least in the part where you now can save yourself the time of going to each of the sites individually.

MightyText App....for your Android Phone

MightyText Beta in Chrome Web Store


The mightytext app which was formerly known as TEXTY OR TEXTER is an extremely helpful tool for someone that is at their computer for long periods of time and is someone who texts on their cell phone often.  


It syncs your desktop and cell phone so that your able to do everything from your computer.  Things such as incoming calls with caller id, incoming messages, missed calls are all displayed on your screen almost immediately(for me it takes about 3 seconds of time lapse which i think is completely reasonable).  Best of all is your not only able to see your text messages without having to pick up your cell phone and unlock it every 15 minutes(if you have a timer lock like I do) but you don't even have to look away from your screen , pops up right there for ya.


I say go ahead and give it a try.....it's def worth your time for the 4 minute set up and the 3 minutes taken to really get the hang of it, it won't be the BEST 7 minutes of your life(or at least I really hope not) but those 7 minutes may save you 70 hours over the rest of your now more productive, technologically advanced, computer wizard in training ass.

Review of the Review Reviewed by Reviewer is Wrong but is it ever Right?

Firstly i'll quickly give you my take on the title, I bring the whole issue up because of the issue google experienced in the article I posted link to which talked about bloggers being hired to write posts about the google chrome and some linked back to the chrome download page which violates the terms of google's own agreement depending on your interpretation.  Back to why I felt the need to post my own little disclaimer......


Basically, in my opinion, as morally driven, honest, trustworthy, and someone who truly is a man of their word, in some way or another your going to be biased one way or another if your being monetarily compensated. The good ol quid pro quo. The backroom deals, simple handshake or the old fashioned "greasing of the palm". (that one has a different connotation nowadays so you probably want to skip using it if your talking to my generation. Whether your just omitting a bug that you noticed and only occurred that one time 2 months ago or your making a completely false statement when you review a product as excellent and go on to explain how great each aspect was, your not giving a fair assessment to your readers. When you have users that are spending their time by reading your blog post, newspaper article, magazine etc because they value your opinion, need advice, looking to make comparisons between 2 different brands or whatever. 


Coming from someone that writes a blog and hopes someday to even have half the viewership that many of other blogs you get initially directed to when you search keywords I find it disgusting and really question not only their moral integrity but it leaves me wondering where else they have no problem compromising their morals. 


My point in all of this is that I put a lot of effort into picking and choosing the topics and articles I write about for my blogs because I have a responsibility to my readers to give them the best of what I have. Now saying that, everyone shares differing opinions, that's what makes us who we are. Just because we don't agree on a topic doesn't mean that I don't want you reading or commenting anymore and I hope you don't want to stop reading or posting because we are on different sides of the fence on something. I want this to be a forum for anyone and everyone who is looking for an opinion or review of something. We all don't have to agree, the only rule that I ask everyone to follow is to all be respectful whether it's agreeing or disagreeing.


Lastly, and I want to make this 100% crystal clear.....I HAVE NOT, AM NOT AND WILL NOT EVER ACCEPT COMPENSATION FOR MY OPINION ONE WAY OR ANOTHER ON A PRODUCT, STORE, BRAND, WEBSITE OR WHATEVER ELSE. If someone would like me to review their new site they created i'm always more then happy to do that.....but be aware, you are going to get an honest accessment of your site and items, the sword cuts both ways. Feel free to ask my opinion off the record and i'll check it out and just email you back myself, I don't mind at all.
