Pagerank updates and wildfires
Let’s see who is reporting the next wave of pagerank updates this Friday? There is really no reason to blog about most stuff anymore because many are already covering it. I posted some information on CA wildfires, then did a blog search and thought “wow, what’s the point… it already has been covered”. How about fire retardant spray systems for homes? Now that is an area that interests me and is in need of a little consolidation. How about some new inventions to collect, disperse and smother wildfires, any creative geniuses out there? Here is your chance to do something and maybe even make a few dollars while you are at it? I can envision a system fed by combined rooftop rainwater collection that protects entire neighborhoods. You live in an area under extreme drought like CA or GA? How about dew harvesting?
Ok enough crosslinking, let me try to make a point, the information being offered by ordinary people during these wildfires is amazing. For instance, check out google video (sorted by date). I keep watching folks on TV, interviewed by reporters and asked if they know if their homes were damaged or not? Are these news people aware that you can search Google Earth (updated every two hours?) to see if a home is either standing or crispy?
These are interesting times, the world is just starting to wake up to find new ways to communicate and share information during a crisis. Thank you Google and more importantly, ordinary people out there who blog, twitter, digg and spam, I mean…sphinn! :)

The wildfires are abating this morning, but the Toolbar PageRank indicator confusion continues. There’s a general revision this morning so that lots of new websites are now suddenly showing PR3. That’s the same score as YouTube, owned by Google. How on earth are we going to explain this to Virginia?

CA needs soaking rain but there is a problem with that also, rain makes the brush grow high then dry during drought, this brush is exactly what fueled this one. Then you got the issue of too much rain, landslides and a likely major earthquake. I would not want to live there, that is ancient unstable ground.
My lowered pagerank for this website is not about anything I am doing, it is about those who link to me and what they have done. This site has never tried any link building or trading for pagerank. PR4 is the correct amount of pagerank. You could say that pagerank is now accurate and current! Anyone consider that?
If you also notice your site can be on many high PR blogrolls, how does google deny blogrolls the ability to pass pagerank? Hint: Does the title “blogroll” clue you into anything? ;)
I see websites at pr3 ranking with the best of them, it now appears to be more about history, stats, content, accuracy, trust and yes, links… but to a lessor degree (Amen).
