LJ is some sort of popularity contest which I am apparently winning

[tongodeon]

qp4 just pointed out that I am apparently in the Top 40, sharing the stage with the inestimable zestyping. I'm not quite sure what this means, why I should care, or whether they mean "of idiots who are wasting their time". I'm a little puzzled why superstars like theferrett and his ilk are not on the page.

Ever since that cubicle screen got you posted on fark.com. I'm telling ya.

Huh, it's weird that theferret is not in that list.

The way it reads the data off of google keeps some people from being listed, depending on their LJ settings. For example, I don't let my page get spidered, so when I google my LJ barely anything comes up. I guess theferrett does that as well.

Mark Kraft is on there though, which doesn't suprise me.

What's funny is that my journal *is* unspiderable. Google shouldn't be able to turn anything up on me. I've got "Minimize your journal's inclusion in search engine results" checked. Yet a few of them are, like the Work Blind.

Many pages on LiveJournal.com itself are not indexed by Google. Thus, a person who is popular among other LiveJournal users may not necessarily rank highly on Google.

Is theferret very f-locked? That might drive down the stats.

Makes sense to me. I always thought you were one of the more interesting people I know. That was before you picked up the eye-candy girlfriend.

But I wonder. Is that "Zes Typing", or "Zesty Ping"*? Or perhaps "zest typing", combining the T?

* Sounds like a flatus euphemism† to me!

† Or "flateu". Which would be a great LJ nick.
