Lookery reveals more - hell froze over - and MySpace is social
Hello to all that read this blog. According to my Lookery stats - it appears it’s mostly a male audience, which is fine, as most of the things I talk about here don’t really have any interest for females. Not a problem, but with Lookery’s latest release, we now have search engine referrals which is cool. Another interesting thing - a good majority of my readers happen to be in California; probably where I should really be living! The nice thing about blogging - your fans/readers can come to you. So have a seat and read…
Hell froze over this week! Mike of Microspaces who I met at a STL startup meeting a few months back, well quite a long time ago actually, as right after I was able to make it to one of them - Lookery took off like a rocket - ie - too damn busy keeping things smooth if you get my drift.
Not to digress into other things - just wanted to congratulate Mike and his persistence to make his startup Microspaces framework something useful. Useful enough that TechCrunch thought so. Great job, and yes, a real TechCrunch’d startup right here in the STL. There is hope after all for those entrepreneurs who are living in the 21st century right here where I live - the STL.
Surprising, as most in the STL are going downtown to the city today for the Cardinals, Rams, Springsteen and Black expo! That’s my point - most of the interest here in the STL are Sports, followed by concerts and some event that has nothing to do with technology or startups.
Or better yet, here is a comment from that linked story about the happenings today in downtown STL:

You can also come to the insideSTL.com 3 year anniversary @ Lumen tomorrow night. Live broadcast of “The Morning After” with guests like Todd Wellemeyer, Kyle Lohse, Joe Mather, Kelly Chase, Felipe Lopez, Penthouse Pet Cali Taylor, WSOP chip leader Dennis Anderson and MORE. Alos, there is a Girls Next Door lingerie contest after the broadcast. Dont miss out!
Interesting. Now this is more of the point on why my bud Trashy had to make the move to the land of subways and brick as he called it. Chicago, sweet home Chicago as he calls it.
Well earlier this past week, I found out that social networking on MySpace really does work. My old guitarist from a band many moons ago finally found me on MySpace. Crazy! We haven’t spoken to each other in probably 12-14 years, and yet when we did get on the phone that afternoon, it seemed like yesterday was only just a few minutes away. The point is that MySpace is still the biggest social network on the planet, as I don’t think he would have found me on Hi5, Bebo, or even Facebook. Don’t let the press out hype the reality; now if they can get their sh*t together, maybe their numbers will matter!
Technically Speaking that is enough rambling for the moment. One last thing I forgot to mention - didn’t get a ton of fanfare was our Lookery feed looks even cooler now! Go stare at it, you’ll see what I mean and want to sign up for your own JS Code to put on your web site.
And oh yeah:
