Hello, in the beginning the Internet promised instant and widespread publishing to everyman. This was to be the revolution that was to give voice to anyone who wanted to publish. But now, to mix my metaphors, if a thought is published on the Internet and no one can find it to read it, does it make a noise? I know about meta tags and page optimization, and search bots. I have done searches for topics in my field and copied the meta tags from the pages that float to the top, into my pages and still my pages do not appear in search results. I have registered my pages with search engines, knowing there is no promise of service. In reality and jest threats are made to "Put that on the internet!!" If there were a leaked memo from Rumsfeld, a hot picture of Ms Spears, or the notice of a meeting, how would it be "posted to the Internet". Any of these bit of information and countless more can and are posted everyday......but who knows about them, how does one find them, if no one sees them they do not exist! I give notice of my web pages via eMail to those whom I hope will be interested.....but this is hardly instant worldwide publication. This is not sour grapes and I do not have a solution...this is what I think is the "Myth of the Internet".
