So, I woke up this morning to a news item about how the founder of “Telegram” had been arrested.
“Telegram,” I thought, “Why does that sound familiar?” Then I realized that I’d seen it on a list of searches that led people to my blog.
(I go there on occasion to see if people Google things that might be incriminating, like “Blog of my friend Ellen from work TeddyJ” or “hot 70 year old men” or the classic, “toe porn”.)
Telegram is number 10. Specifically “links for http://www.mocklog.com telegram happygrannypies”
Some notes.
Number 10: If “pies” means what I think it means there are no pies here, sorry to disappoint.
Number 10: Not a granny, but I realized recently that had I and all my descendants made poor choices at 15 I could have been a great-grandma today.
Number 10: Happygranny? “Happy?’ “No, not really.” – Brief Encounter, favorite movie.
Number 4: This is no doubt disappointing to actual royal watchers.
That link at 10 takes me to a New Jersey trucking firm with a Russian word in its breadcrumb path. (The text at the top of a webpage that shows you how you navigated there.)
I don’t really know a thing about Telegram or what they’re up to. It seems they’re trying to tempt me to use their services to up my web hits, which I would hate to do. Think of the time involved in responding to hundreds of comments.
