# Wow
Thats a better hit rate than all my flibz.dns2go.com stuff, with only 45,000ish page impressions...

# Interesting
It is maintaining the roughly 2:1 ratio of hits to entries in the database...

I think we've achieved AI here - with some more sophisticated searching, perhaps by adding 'opinion' words such as 'is better', 'is a load of crap' etc to the searches we could probably at least reach the general internet consensus a bit more consistently.

I do like its obsession with America and Porn though.

# Rob - how many
are clicking through to b3ta?
I got a measly 50 to my site up till midnight last night.

The 'argument solver' link is working though - usenet is starting to pick it up nicely.

# Hmm....
What's the best way to publicise a link with usenet then...

# It is pretty difficult in most groups
if you don't frequent them often - people really hate 'write-only' posters and treat them as spam.

Just barging in and saying 'look at this' is pretty rude.

Better is to piggyback of the various newsletters people subscribe to - lots of people repost links to their favourite newsgroups to entertain their friends.

Luckily, b3ta has a weekly newsletter :) Let b3ta promote you, then send the links to people like NTK etc.

# Excellent
Low effort publicity is my favourite flavour...

# Wow,
Just found a referal to SUYD from a japanese site.

Linked as (after translation from babelfish)-
"Desktop picture bleach sight. As for being enormous so however it is not, this wallpaper
is good. Being at the bulletin board the desktop picture to show and to have the
demand of ‚Á ‚Ä puzzle next the bleach. It is separately normal."

# I like the idea
of being separately normal.

# Yes
I wonder what it is like.
