So after checking my visitor logs for the day I noticed one from ScatteredGenius.com, where the writer accuses me of being a viral blogger. What in the world is that? Well, the writer says he is a self proclaimed master of the internet, so take hold and lets be educated on viral bloggery:
“My hypothesis as an Internet Scientist is that this person is in fact a viral marketing person seeding blogs that are posting about GTA4 with comments that link back to that blog. In addition to this, people searching for random things like Montreal Hockey Riots will come to this stub of a blog and see this post about GTA4, and effectively have their awareness increased. It also has the added effect of just generally increasing search engine awareness.”
Very interesting way to look at things. I don’t know what to think of this at first… maybe I’m a genius and didn’t know it because I laid a link on a blog post that I found interesting? Or maybe I’m just a GTA4 fan that found someone bored enough to write about me? Either way its kind of entertaining.
As for the comments about me being a marketing company or someone hired to blog, both are false. I’m an individual that is just as bored as you, that wanted to get back into the swing of things when it came to blogging. This “stub” of a blog as you call it wont be that short for long… I’ve been blogging since 1999 way before wordpress or any of the other blogging applications came out, so I’ll just continue on with my random posting ways.

So this guy has challenged me to update my site in such a way that there are no Grand Theft Auto posts on the front page… As the game is only 1 week away now, and I’m surely going to write about the game experience I doubt that will happen. Sorry, can’t take you up on that challenge!
