his post is the first one for this blog running under SliceHost. It’s been quite a month. I’m fed up – frankly – with webhosts!!
Now, it’s no secret that shared hosting is a busted ass for anybody getting more than 5 visitors a week and a couple of HTML pages. But it seems to have gotten worse. Indeed I’d argue at this point that the vast majority of the hosting industry is an enormous joke perpetrated in a manner to create endless sign-ups of new fodder – but not designed for anybody to stick around.

Those of you who’ve been marketing on the Internet since the 1990’s will remember the hazy far off days when “meta descriptions” where SEO magic, the biggest news on the news sites was somebody called Monica and a mysterious Presidential stain on her dress, and Linux was going to take over the desktop within 12 to 18 months.In 2010 things are different, right? Meta descriptions are out, nobody remembers Monica – or her dress, and Linux has taken over the desktop.

Social media has it’s own native fauna that run around, with out the “flight” mechanism, with large pincers to grip their prey, carrying venom sacks with which to inject us with. Like the Australian Bull Ant this is a primitive species that first appeared millions of bytes ago – on UseNet. While primitive it’s an adaptable survivor. It’s survived the age of the NTTP server, the Dot Bomb Ice Age and is thriving deep in this modern inter-web era of RSS.It’s a ferocious consumer that will “follow” you and attack if you get to near or if it sees you first. Dropping a firecracker in a nest of them is devastating – to you! Attempting to squash them underfoot will result in a painful bite that may need more than an ice pack. There is no commercially available spray for treatment.
