I just installed a firefox google pagerank extension.
I don’t know too much about PageRank besides the basics (you get ranked higher as you have more links pointing to you and as you are more “honest” about content e.g. your page content isn’t a bunch of random words).
However if I were google I think I’d model pagerank after the Richter scale (for earthquakes), where each additional increment is an order of magnitude increase, aka make pagerank logarithmic.
For a few months now I’ve been using the adblock and platypus extensions for Firefox.
If you are a tech-y person, and you use Firefox, please go install platypus (and the requisite greasemonkey) right now. Platypus lets you instantly create greasemonkey scripts to modify web pages arbitrarily. For example I can click on a page element I want to “erase,” and platypus will create the greasemonkey script to erase that element: for forever, or just until you disable the greasemonkey script.
If you want to keep using platypus I highly recommend going to Tools -> Extensions -> Platypus options and turning on “auto hide,” so Platypus isn’t always bothering you.
Anyways, now I actually like ads because I can use adblock (or platypus in an emergency) to delete the ads. I can even delete javascript ads!
I just beat Tower Blaster! Final score: 39869.
(I’m doing some scheduled maintenance on WFU’s DNS this morning, but my part’s over unless the other work goes horribly wrong. Thus I have time to review my del.icio.us flash game bookmarks.)
