Googlefasting: Day 10

Continued from Day 1, Day 1.5, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9…

• Busy for most of the day running errands. Hence, my primary search experiences were through my mobile phone. Gada.be really shines here.
• Used Gada.be to look for Olive Garden pasta fagioli recipes, as well as to find and download Virtual Earth Mobile to Ponzi's Pocket PC. Need to find someone who has Smartphlow. Gada.be has me a bit frustrated because Yahoo! & del.icio.us have fallen asleep at the wheel in terms of our API requests, as has Feedster (I'm not sure what Redlitz is thinking).
• Edited SearchBar.ini for Maxthon to automatically (simultaneously) push search queries to Gada.be, MSN, IceRocket, Yahoo!, and Ask.
• Had to delete and ban a fartknocker from commenting on this blog (insipidity and use of the “T” word gets you kicked pretty quickly). I'll give the guy credit for one thing: he registered before he posted. I looked up his username and Yahoo! had it indexed in two places, the very two places he placed comments overnight. Wow, that was quick.
• Trevor in Vancouver sent this suggestion to me this morning: “The Vancouver Sun ran an article today on your “Googlefast”. Perhaps you are looking for different information to what I usually seek, but I don't see what the big deal is. I still use Dogpile and Copernic as my search tools. Both do much the same by invoking multiple search engines, the latter (free version of) stores the search results on your local machine. Of course, the keywords that you use in your search are fundamental to finding what you seek. Are the Google guys paying you to hype this up, or have you not looked at Dogpile and Copernic?” Indeed, I'm an avid Copernic user – but this is more about Web search than desktop. Dogpile is fun!
• Had to find information on the panel I'm doing with Paul Colligan (needed to know the dates). Searched for 'eComXpo' and 'Colligan' and found what I needed. April 5th, apparently. FWIW, eComXpo is most likely the worst name for a conference in all of recorded history.
