Fantastic! I rush to my hit generating page.
Google cache HERE Explained further on.
So it’s a picture from twitter. Some information from Linked In. Synopsis that I didn’t write. Email address that I don’t publish so I have no idea how they got that. Some information from my website. Is someone from Bigsight really going through all of this data and linking it together? Some of it could probably be done automagically but it seems like they had someone go through it all and change it just so slightly that it made sense. Well, kinda made sense.
So, I use my username and password they provided, log in and start deleting and changing data that I can’t delete. After about a minute of this I need to log in again. Ok… my page was deleted. Do they also have an automatic kill switch that detects irritation?? Apparently mass deleting stuff from your own profile results in a removal of the account? It’s my account right? It’s probably to prevent the backlash that’s most likely going to occur. Like: http://www.mazar.ca/2008/04/04/what-facebook-hath-wrought/
It’s mostly publicly available information but it’s all from sources that I manipulate and choose to maintain. It’s not like a google cache of my website that’s out of date. It’s not like facebook/linkedIn/my website in which I signed up for and put the profile together. They didn’t throw it together and lure me in with an email about top ranking google searches. Bigsight put it together, changed things and present it as if I put it together. Even if it did get 12 whole hits I don’t care for it. Bigthumb down to Bigsight.
