OARBS Update
OARBS progress continues!
On Monday, Dan will have his third meeting with York Region District
School Board staff, specifically with a group of about 10 principals
and vice-principals. With this meeting, we hope to get school-level
administrators excited about what OARBS can do for them, and get
referrals to IT and purchasing staff to open up lines of
communication.
OARBS is now in Google (http://www.google.com/search?q=oarbs) and MSN
(http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=oarbs).
It's interesting how these engines differ - MSN Search was really fast
to include OARBS.com, Google was really slow.
Conversely, Google was relatively fast to include this bln
(http://cldellow.blogspot.com/) and MSN has yet to include it. Yet,
when you search for references to OARBS within this site, you will see
that Google (http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Acldellow.blogspot.com+oarbs)
has no hits. This is insane, because I have at least three articles
that mention OARBS. My suspicion is that Google did not believe OARBS
was a word until recently, and thus did not index the word. Now that
oarbs.com exists, I've noticed Google no longer suggests I've typoed
(Did you really mean "orbs"?) and I think it'll soon begin to show
more interesting results for "oarbs" searches.
