…or, “Just use the internet to do illegal downloads and porn like the rest of us,” says my pal Jawa. Being an SEO means being self-conscious about your own actions and the actions of others on the Internet.

I know Notebook launched in April 2006, but I can’t recall having seen this show up like this prior to now: Is this another collaborative filter-Web 2.0-data collection manuever?
