G+ME Webpage

G+ME Webpage Link


Wow. That about describes it right there. This is the first extension that I have looked over reviews in the chrome web store for and have not found 1 negative. Obviously I didn't look at all 31,942 comments or whatever but I read 15-20 all randomly picked, tried skipping a few pages even, STILL JUST GOOD. Weird. Then the bad came. Not the creator's fault necessarily because google's updates cause codes to be broken and therefor extensions not to work. 


The Review Grade 89/100(originally)
93/100(after upgrade if I can really get these changes up and working it sounds incredible)
RIGHT NOW: 1/100(I STILL REMEMBER THE GOOD OL DAYS)


The caveat. The single vexing, frustrating, annoying problem and I don't even know if it's a working extension as of this moment. It has compatibility issues with other extensions so depending on your settings, extensions, etc there are different ways to try and get things working. I'm still in the process of getting up and running again but once the car is out of the garage, it's like coasting down the California highway in your brand new white Cadillac  with that baseball glove color interior, loving life.

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.

Survey Spot.com+ Survey Head.com Review

This shit is REALLY REALLY starting to get on my nerves. No, that's not true. It's already on my nerves and it's "starting" to get to the i'm going to waste 20 minutes out of my life emailing "customer service" and explaining exactly how unjust, unethical, wrong, and just plain fucking irritating what they are doing is knowing damn well whomever happens to open it will either A. spit out his subway grinder laughing by the end of the first paragraph and call in a few buddies to check this one out or B. Will end up deleted and no one will have so much as an afterthought as to who "employee" 375b294a  is, thinks, wants, QUITS!


How ironic that I actually just now had another survey from an entirely different company, about different things, paying different amounts, etc just did the EXACT same thing to me. Well, CONGRATS WWW.SURVEYHEAD.COM YOU SUCCESSFULLY MADE IT INTO THE REALM OF THE CUSTOMER REVIEW WORLD. HOPEFULLY YOU ADHERE TO THE EDICT OF ANY PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY. I will say this caveat though in Survey Head's defense: As far as I can recall it has not been a constant, reoccurring, ALMOST DAILY problem like in the case of Survey Spot.


I bet your just dying to find out what my issue is. No it's not the fact that i'm getting paid .50 cents to answer a survey that is "estimated" to be about 20 minutes(yeah, that's $1.50 per hour. I'm NOT EXAGGERATING) Im not even complaining(at least not right now) about how wrong it is to agree to answer that 20 minute survey for .50 and in reality spend 35-40 minutes answering honestly and thoughtfully like I was asked to do. I'm mad because after spending that 35 minutes that was supposed to be 20 not only do they have a automated prompt pop up that alerts you that you will not be collecting your funds but it states a list of 4 reasons which "MAY" have contributed to this decision.


1. Inattentive behavior such as speeding through a survey.
2. Your IP address is showing as a different country then you currently listed in your profile.
3. Someone in your household has already taken this survey.
4. I'm not positive.
