Eric, I'm not with you. The three buttons seem to link with Facebook, Twitter and G+1, and all have a photo of Hailey-from-Hong-Kong. But does one have to be a member of one of those social-network thingies to take advantage of the buttons?


I don't get it.

Okay Google has updated is search algorithms. So I am going to the bottom of the page and click Google Plus.

Is that good or bad?

It is neither bad or good. It is traffic.

Traffic to a website is impartial.;)

I never thought about that.  How do you block traffic?

Do you blog?
No, I don't.  Blogging is a waste of time.  Now everybody is texting.

A grand, sweeping, statement, John! It's like saying that letters and emails are a waste of time, or reading for pleasure, or posting on web-forums... I get pleasure out of blogging, which is pretty much the same thing as maintaining a website, surely.

I think I have an issue with squeezing blogs with web sites together in the same category.  :)
Blogs tend, IMHO, to be more of a monolog while web sites must meet the exigencies of a dialogue and standards of unexpected novelty if the public is to buy.  Blogs may be a diary, a reference; web site are real online stores.  Please believe me, it's so exciting to turn the PC on at 6AM and see an order from somebody in Tasmania waiting for you to process it, somebody who not only agrees with your views but also paid for the item.  :D
