He’s wants us to proclaim ‘the one thing that we MUST say to the entire world’. He said,
“You have up to 150 characters to say a message to the world.
You can do it in your blog, microblog, tumblelog, or whatever electronic medium.”
He also wants us to tag 10 others to do the same.
So, I’m tagging YOU.
Please send your responses to Mark. Of course, he would absolutely love trackbacks. 
Each person that responds to his request, will also have their statement to the world blogged here as well as on my other site, Yicrosoft Directory Girl. (as long as it is not pornographic or otherwise similarly funky)
Side note: Mark and I both use CommentLuv and both of my blogs are Dofollow.
This is MY statement to you and the world..

Douglas Merrill Leaves Google for EMI
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008I was reading a post by Kevin Heisler, Executive Editor of Search Engine Watch a few minutes ago entitled, “Google Loses Rock Star CIO to EMI Music“.
It seems that Douglas Merrill has lost his Google panties to another John.
He’s opted for being the President of EMI.
Who’s Douglas Merrill anyway?
Douglas Merrill was none other than Google’s Vice President of Engineering. He began as Google’s Senior Director of Information Systems in 2003.
His background before Google included Charles Schwab and Co., Price Waterhouse and RAND Corporation.
What the heck is EMI?
According to Wikipedia, EMI Group is one of the largest music companies in the world. (Read EMI Group’s About Page here)
Merrill. What a tramp.
Is it just me, or does it seem like nobody that beds with Google marries Google?

Until later, have fun learning SEO!
