[...] There are professional networking sites, and the one you need to be on first is LinkedIn. It’s a professional Facebook coupled with an online resume, meaning you can list your past and present job descriptions. People use it to keep in touch with professional contacts and make new ones. You can use it to connect with people in your field, and employers are using it more and more (especially in this economy) to find/background check prospective employees. Having a LinkedIn profile also gives you a searchable online presence. That’s why you need to be on it – if you’re not in Google, you don’t exist. [...]

I really do hate to agree with all the points that Hosiah put out there… but they’re entirely correct, as callous as they are.

How many ways is this wrong? Let us count them:

* 1. You put a freaking mall in Glendale! California is TILED border to border with malls. Where in hell did they even find the space to put another one?

* 2. Malls die all the time, and they were doing it before Google existed. You bet your money and you take your chances.

* 3. How many people look for a mall on Google? You go to a mall when you drive past it, hear about it through word of mouth, or see it advertised on TV.

* 4. You expect Google to have you pegged in their indexes for all of their products in one month. It’s all they can do to index search pages that fast. Variables happen.

* 5. You search for “Glendale shopping” and whine because it didn’t pop up in the first page??? I’m sorry, did you mean “Glendale, Indiana”, “Glendale, Oregon”, or “Glendale, Arizona”??? You know, there’s also streets and people named ‘Glendale’, too. Since you mean Glendale California, you should be aware that the “Jewel City” has a population surpassing 200,000, more than ten of which might provide places to shop in Glendale.

* 6. Again and again and again: Google is a privately owned corporation. Not a utility, not a government service, not a charity. They don’t owe you free marketing – in fact, they have every right to blacklist you for any reason or no reason at all.

* 7. In summary, what an outrageously stupid moron!
