Do you think I should take this personally?

So, this is weird, right?

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that an image search for "spongebob" no longer returns a horrible picture of me that I posted a year and a half ago and deleted a year ago but that the googlebots apparently liked a lot because it was the fifth result or so. But what? All of a sudden I'm not good enough for Google? Those Silicon Valley snobs want to pretend I don't exist? Or maybe Mia's cuteness crashed their algorithms?

Honestly, Google. If you are going to break up with a girl, you could at least have the decency to call or even email. This whole "pretend I don't exist" is just cowardly, even if I did ruin you for all other blogs.

Wow. Totally snubbed. If I were you I'd never talk to google again. ;-)

Those basta....how dare they treat you like that. Want me to tear their head off? I know people who know people who know people that can take of them for ya! Just give me the word and Google's history!

Well, I'm saving all my violent tendencies for my ex and my co-worker, but I have a big hug and a "we still love you even if google doesn't" for you. ;)

I blame Mia's cuteness. Totally.

Posted by: wordgirl at May 11, 2006 12:03 PM

Heh, AOL's search is powered by google and returns three pages of results...not one of them your actual site! Mia's site comes up on the second page. Yep, I'd take it personally!

Posted by: Jaycie at May 11, 2006 12:06 PM

When you put a space between the colon and your URL, it brings up results. Google totally still loves you!

Posted by: Zoe at May 11, 2006 12:08 PM

Bastards!

Posted by: Sarah at May 11, 2006 12:08 PM

oh. hmmm...

i wonder how that happened? google is fickle.

Posted by: Sarcomical at May 11, 2006 12:55 PM

Google is the Root of all evil! Maybe there IS a reason our government wanted to look at all their searches.

I do have to give Google Credit for Google Earth. I love that program!

Posted by: Sabrina at May 11, 2006 01:05 PM

Wow. No note. No explanation. Nothing? What a bastard that Google is. Who the hell does he think he is, anyway?

Posted by: RockStar Mommy at May 11, 2006 01:13 PM

Well... have you been Yahooing?

Posted by: jodi at May 11, 2006 01:41 PM

Screw Google. He's always hitting on everybody anyway, right? ;-)

Posted by: Heather at May 11, 2006 02:26 PM

You realize this is resulting in many attempts at finding you on Google now right? I found you in images AND at google. You merely have to type in "Sothefishsaid" with no www or any other punctuations. I'm here for ya...to show you the way to your Google Love ;)

Posted by: Kate at May 11, 2006 02:29 PM

I dont come up either. But then again I suck and no one reads my little blog. But I did get google hits for you when I just typed in so the fish said?

Posted by: Lisa at May 11, 2006 02:52 PM

Google's just, like, soooo last year! Anyway, I'm sure you'll be back on soon enough. (btw, my kitty's sick now--I wonder if some kitties just can't deal with a new baby in the family...).

Posted by: Haley-O at May 11, 2006 03:11 PM

uh, add a space between site and the site.

look:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=active&q=site%3A+www.sothefishsaid.com&btnG=Search

Posted by: HollyRhea at May 11, 2006 03:13 PM

How rude! But We still love you and know where you are.

Posted by: Melissa at May 11, 2006 03:47 PM

Wow, that is weird. Why do they hate you? You know that they rule the world now? Be very afraid. What did you do to annoy them? Perform a complete examination of conscience and beg pardon for your offence.

Posted by: belgianwaffle at May 11, 2006 04:28 PM

Hmm... that's ok, we didn't want them to be our friend anyway. So there. (fwiw... they don't like me either... Sigh... )

Posted by: Karen at May 11, 2006 04:39 PM

At first I was like, "Huh? She's trying to show a google search, but nothing's coming up." (Duhr!) Sorry, I'm a little sleep deprived.

The nerve! Let's bust their aquariums!

I know where you are, and that is a great thing in my life!

Posted by: Lianne at May 11, 2006 09:07 PM

Well, so far nothing funky has turned up my picture, but then, I'm almost afraid to see what might come up.
Don't worry too much, you'll always be Spongebob to me!

Posted by: Maribeth at May 12, 2006 09:09 AM

Hmmm, how did that happen?

We still love you hon'!

Posted by: Sweety at May 12, 2006 11:28 AM

dude, assholes. That's why I go with Yahoo...that's how I end up with nifty search returns like "elvis stojko" and "s my d".

Posted by: andy at May 12, 2006 11:49 AM

Seriously? Mia confounds even the best search engines. It's not her fault.

Posted by: Queen of Ass at May 12, 2006 12:15 PM

how strange....

Posted by: suze at May 12, 2006 12:56 PM

Fuckers! lol
Mine shows up, but the description says "this site is down for maintenence" LMAO

Posted by: Bella at May 12, 2006 01:33 PM

I had a boyfriend do that to me once. I TP'd his house.
If you tell me where Google lives I would totally take care of it for you.

Posted by: Dangerous at May 12, 2006 02:40 PM

Google is a fickle lover my friend. Be cautious with her..

Posted by: Janice at May 16, 2006 02:25 AM

PS - or should I say "him" ....hmmm...
