Firefox teaches you how to spell!

I recently downloaded Firefox 2.0. Call me old fashion, but I don’t like it. I personally hate the new tab system. That’s beside the point I am here to make, though. What I want to say is that Firefox 2.0 is teaching me how to spell.

That’s right. With their Microsoft Word style red underline that comes up on words spelled incorrectly, I am actually improving my ability to spell instead of using Word as a crutch.

Since I’ve started using Firefox 2.0, I’ve learned how to spell exhausted, pursuing, and across.

Take that people who say the internet is dumbing down our writing ability. Thanks to blogging, I can whip out essays in a matter of minutes. Thanks to Firefox, I can spell.

Some Google Evil and New Text Link Format?

I had read on TechCrunch about Google’s new PPA ads and Text Link Format ads, the latter of which had been hidden in Google’s press release.

I had planned to post about this myself, but there is a great post on Marketing Hipster already. I hope Mr. Silverstein Cord doesn’t mind me linking to him and using his image to reinforce his message in the example I put together of what he’s talking about below.

This new Text Link Format embeds ads into a page’s text as opposed to being in the nicely separated Google ad box. How might this look? Here’s an example for your viewing pleasure.
