CLICK for Mashimaro!
I'm on the Top of the World, Looking Down on Creation
So I installed a secondary counter yesterday, after my old one decided to switch to a partially paid service. My new free counter has showed me something amazing. People typing combinations of 'Mashimaro' into Yahoo! are getting MY web page close to the top! In fact I am #27 in order and one of the few entirely English pages that show up that early. This has led me to type in things such as 'changwon + weather' and 'kyungnam + journal' and various other combinations. All of a sudden I find myself showing up in single digits or at the top. Someone was looking for 'changwon + hotel' and they got my page too... interesting. I still haven't done as well as my friend, Donna, who shows up at #4 if you simply type her name... and she has a pretty common last name too! Unfortunately the web is overrun with people sharing my name.
Something else I noticed too... I have a posting on another Korean website now. The Pusanweb Konglish Corner has published one of my earlier anecdotes. Check it out; I am at the top of the page right now, there too.
SECURITY UPDATE: I received some information due to my earlier concerns about Microsoft Messenger after randomly trying combinations of email addresses. Microsoft seems to not want bug reports from their website-- so I had to take a few stabs in the dark. The guessed address: 'secure@microsoft.com' finally worked, and provided my response. I'm going to quote directly.
These calls are processed and serviced by a partner company we work
with, Net2Phone. Net2Phone provides connectivity between the internet
and the phone systems, with gateways stationed throughout the world.
It's well-known that eavesdropping on phone lines is possible, and
although not common, it can happen either by a user trying to snoop
intentionally (think wiretapping) or accidentally (think a crossed phone
line, where you hear someone else's conversation, frequently termed a
"bad connection")
