Google, Mishal Husain, and MS-DOS

A couple of days ago, I changed the <TITLE> tags for all pages on this site to have “Reinvented” at the end rather than the beginning. Today I was following some of the Google links (see over on the right under “Recent Google”), and found that Google had already re-indexed most of the pages here using that new format.

Google says “each time we update our database of web page [sic] (about once a month), our index shifts: we find new sites, we lose some sites, and site rankings change.” It appears that in my case — and perhaps in the case of all “weblog”-like sites where content changes frequently — Google comes on through much more often.

In other Google news, this site is now the first search result for a search for Mishal Husain. Will wonders never cease? Of course we’re also the first search result for “IBM”+”old MS-DOS Database”.
