This is a joke, right???

As some of you are most likely already aware, the one and only Kevin Federline, aka K-Fed, has teamed up with Prodege to launch his very own search engine! What in the world is this all about? If you did not believe that there was a Web 2.0 bubble looming, then this should set you straight. I mean, come on, what are they thinking? I must admit, I know nothing about Prodege and their technologies, but do we really need yet another search engine, let alone one fronted by K-Fed? I do not know what was going through their minds when they concocted this idea, if only I could have been a fly on the wall during the brainstorming session when someone stood up and said, hey, what if we teamed up with Kevin Federline and launched a search engine.

There are a ton of alternative search engines out there beyond Google, like (to name a few):

• A9
• AURA!
• ChaCha
• like
• Rollyo
• thefind.com

From what I can tell from the time I checked it out, this does not classify as one of the alternatives.

I found myself in this exact situation today, what do I do? One of my favorite bloggers, Noah Kagan of OkDork.com, has decided to take a short break from blogging today, so where does that leave his readers?

Great Question! So, he is taking a break, but will continue to post from time to time, just not daily like he has been doing for quite some time. He recently instituted a pretty cool feature in his blog, he has opened it up to his readers so they can post too. The rules are pretty simple, you register, post your first post (he will approve it) and you are free to post from there on out.
