I had a great dream last night – it was about chocolate!
I actually dreamed I was writing for an advertising campaign. I even remember this poem from my dream…
“What does chocolate do for me?
It’s comfort food when you’re feeling low
It’s something to grab when you’re on the go
It’s smooth as silk
It’s made from milk
Comes in a box tied up with a bow….
Tacky eh!

The reason I’m telling you this is because it’s a great experiment to see if the Google adsense on my blog actually does start selling you chocolate. If it does…please let me know! Fun eh!

But seriously, aren’t these new technologies amazing! If we were living 100 years ago we’d be using the ducking stool rather a lot wouldn’t we?

But we’re not living 100 years ago, we are in a time when we allow crawlers to access our online homes and invisible robots to fight our online battles against them.

We can talk to anyone we want with the click of a mouse and find out about anything we want by Googling it!

Have you ever wondered how Adsense came about?
My research tells me that it was owned by a private company called “Oingo” based in Los Angeles. In 1998, two guys, Adam Weissman and Gilad Elbaz invented what they called a search algorithm that recognised words and their meanings. This was then developed by Princeton University.

After changing it’s name, Oingo was bought by Google in 2003 for $102 million.

Not a bad night’s work for Weissman and Elbaz eh!
