I had lunch with Rachel Kennedy from Team People at a CMMA luncheon the other day who told me about eLance.com where you can post a job or work you need done and people can bid on it.

So I found a website called Clearification Mekanism which is interestingly a Microsoft site but they did a really good job with it.  For Microsoft it is incredibly creative and I loved the site design.  I found the episodes funny in “hey this is a crazy Internet site” kinda way.  I’d highly recommend it and I’m going to guarantee it isn’t like anything you have seen before.  Below are some of my favorite quotes from when Demetri starts to “unclutter his mind”:

• What if birds were afraid of heights?
• If male ladybugs found out their name do you think they would be pissed?
• Love is: and I hope it never isn’t
• Life is like a road.  It twists and turns and if you lie in it too long, you will be crushed
• Once I started to look I finally began to see

AJAXDaddy.com is a great site for AJAX scripts.  Check out the dock menu script.  That rocks!

OK so we all search for ourselves, I keep messing with my SEO in hopes of improving my results (that is my excuse and I am sticking to it).  We have heard recently that Yahoo! is falling apart and Google can’t be stopped.

Test #1- The “Search King” Google

1. OK great my LinkedIn page is rendered first but at least it is me.
2. The second result is some random post I did.  I looked at the post and I don’t have any special SEO tags in it so I’m not sure why it is there.
3. I love the third result but unfortunately it is a hotter Jeremy Person.
4. Further down the page it found Lana Person
5. Even further down it has Ron Jeremy in my results?  Geeze…things are getting worse by the minute here Google.

Search #2 – The Underdog: Yahoo!

1. OK on www.yahoo.com you see it autocompletes my search and finds Jeremy Person, nice!  Oh yeah PS, since this is the Yahoo! test you are going to see lots of exclamation marks.
2. The first result is my website, perfect…that is what I want!
3. The second result is my LinkedIn page…yes still perfect!
4. The third result I’m not so happy with, claimid?
5. The fourth result is something about physical touching of his person?  Geeze, here we go again…common Yahoo!
6. Next result is my Digg page, yes…picking up steam again

Conclusion: Yahoo! Search Rocks!

OK so I have been known to be a Yahoo! fanboy but the proof is in the search isn’t it?  Google did a fair job but I still think Yahoo! has better results.  I would love to see the day where users can tweak search content to help get better results.  What do you think?  Scott (Google fanboy) should have something to say about this one!  Yahoo!  Yahoo!  Yahoo!
