A few minutes ago typed “47 folders” into the google search bar built into my firefox browser and here’s what appeared when I hit the enter key. Aparently, it thinks I’m an automated bot or spyware application. Or worse, there’s something on my system sending automated requests!

So I guess I’m off to do a bunch of scans on my system to see if my laptop is infested with spyware.

I’ve basically closed down all my other blogs and redirected them (and their associated feeds) to this site (paulshort.com). The only other blog I have running at the moment is Healthacker.com which will be revived early in th new year.

The reason why I’ve done this is quite simple: I’m starting fresh in 2008 with my blogging and building a single brand around my own name first - something I should have done from the beginning instead of spreading myself too thin.

So if you’ve been subscribed to any of my other blogs, you can unsubscribe from them now and unclutter your feedreaders. If you feel so inclined, please subscribe to one of my 2 main RSS feeds at either paulshort.com/feed or add me at twitter.com/paulshort. Or, you can also subscribe to get updates to this site via a daily email digest by entering your email address in the form in the upper right hand side of this page.

Thanks everyone!

Folks, I’m reworking the template here at paulshort.com from scratch. Please excuse any funkiness that may be happening.

Here’s a message for all those companies making “viral videos” - You don’t make a viral video. You make a video and as more and more people share and pass it around, it goes viral. It’s not viral until AFTER the fact. Hmmmph.

I’ve been hanging out at a lot of chat rooms lately, like those at Ustream.tv and Justin.tv and watched the chatters antics. Here’s what the conversations would look like in the meat world:

Thanks Nick!
