2010: BossItUp featured on Google!! (Happy New Year!)

Happy New Years, everyone!! I’m really happy that the new year and decade has finally arrived! I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays!

To start off 2010, I have some great news. Boss It Up! now comes up as a search result on Google if you search “bossitup wordpress”! A few sites also have added my site and my Twitter accounts to their search directory. However, on the other hand, there is something you guys should be aware of. A few other sites have used my username and my blog’s link in either comments or posts. So if you see a comment from the names “idashur” or “The Boss” which was posted before July 2009, then that is not me.

I took a screenshot of the search page. 🙂

Look at all those links!

Verizon Wireless is the new playground bully. (BIU EPISODE 1.5)

WOW! I’m three days late to post the episode. I usually post episodes on Friday, but unfortunately, I was busy the whole week and weekend. Let’s hope that the following days will be much easier. 😛

Now to the episode: the title says it all. Since the Motorola Droid smartphone came out recently, Verizon’s been attacking AT&T and the iPhone with many silly commercials. Here’s one of the them that made me laugh:

Just look at that toy elephant! His voice and the way he speaks sounds hilarious! He reminds me of the Sesame Street episodes I used to watch when I was really young. And what in the world is up with that airplane in the end? He or she (to be honest, I don’t know what it is) just suddenly starts laughing after making a statement that wasn’t funny at all, jumps around in circles and falls down. That’s total randomness, Verizon.

I love the iPhone and iPod touch, its physical features, and its software and apps. I even own and iPod Touch. However, also, to be honest, I kind of like the Droid. I’m a huge fan of Google and all its products. Heck, I love Google so much that I use it as my secondary or tertiary word processing suite when I’m not on my base computer. If I had an iPhone, I wouldn’t let it go for the Droid. I’m just not…used to other types of phones, except my Samsung SLYDE.

As many of you know, I live in the Pacific Coast of Canada where Telus, Rogers and Bell are the most popular phone providers. They make many commercials, but they never attack each other in a direct way, like Verizon’s attacking AT&T. And what the funniest part is, is that these Verizon commercials are appearing on some Canadian channels like CBC. Looks like they really want to spread the word.

This is why I called Verizon the playground bully. Though, sadly, this isn’t the only commercial for the Droid campaign.
