[Help] Helpful Feeling Updates to this post /post/235243-helpful-feeling Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:47:37 +0100 Reply from Michael Leibman /post/235243-helpful-feeling#reply-4764773 …’bd’, before getting banned again, said something about how this post was findable through search engines, with some implications that the way google ranks pages is biased toward google’s own interests.

I just wanted to say that a major idea of my original suggestion is that if you’re not feeling well and want to feel better, all the first information you receive is not going to feel right, good or true. Hence the suggested extended reading. Lengthy time at the computer isn’t the healthiest thing, but the sheer breadth of information on the internet seems so much better than any single book on a subject, unless one happens to be really religiously into some book (or ideology or personaly-cult or something.)

But other than the drawback of extended computer use, there is also confusion and advertisements, things that scatter the mind instead of focussing it.

I also noticed that there are many interesting “health 2.0″ sites — I would think they’d help one feel better, but for some reason people associate health with disease. Like, I’d want to think better so I look at the section for “brain and mind” and I get many links to mind-diseases and brain-damages, rather than things to improve the health of those.

OKay, that’s all I know, thanks for reading this.

SEOs (actually: “Google Optimizers”) commonly use the title tag to metatag the page.

Note, however, that the title tag is a very UNreliable indicator of expertise. For this, the domain name will remain the most significant factor for information retrieval (aka “search”).

You’re welcome. (I know I already said that, but we have a big holiday in the US called “Thanksgiving” and everyone remembers to give thanks but they skip over “Welcoming Day” and don’t celebrate it as much.) Thank you so much for putting up with me and my confusingness.

Reply from Michael Leibman /post/235243-helpful-feeling#reply-4691447 There is a lot of reading there, and very little of it makes direct sense on first glance, so repeating the process may be necessary.

Reply from Michael Leibman /post/235243-helpful-feeling#reply-4691445 [quote businessstartupsmall]What’s the answer to the question at the top?[/quote]

The answer is to follow the hyperlink and read the webpages, sequentially, learn, evolve, and grow into a person who feels better.

Reply from Michael Leibman /post/235243-helpful-feeling#reply-4691303 “them” refers to the implied improvements in the art of cheering up, sorry about the grammar.

aww I am sorry to hear that. Another post I was on today really drained me too. I believe I invited you and a few other to it, but it is useless. I wish I could cheer you up.
