In Napa We Write for Robots, Then mere Humans

Posted Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 by Jim Beazley.

We live in an age when flying Robots not only have missiles but Google Robots control what gets read in the first place. And there are Robot Spiders too.

Right now, my competition is better at using this new cyber army than I am. Our numbers show it. Sometimes we don’t even show up on the playing field anymore.

Today I have to know how to use “key words” which you, dear readers, have searched on. No matter that these words don’t pertain to anything I’m trying to write about.  They must appear.

So if I want to tell you Spring has already sprung in Napa Valley, I better say it with lots of references to the Napa Valley Wine Country in California where Brittany Spears may appear naked in a room at the Beazley House Bed and Breakfast inn. It could happen. It just hasn’t.
I’d know.

Uma Thurman was at the Beazley House once. She was attending a wedding shower for then husband Ethan Hawke’s sister. There was a lot to see of Uma, she was past 8 months pregnant.
Because I was out walking the dogs I missed her.

I never forgave the dogs.

But that was before Blogs, Google and Robot spiders, so who cares!

What’s important now are links, too. Like to our website and our specials. That’s a no-brainer. I get that. See? I can not only TELL you we’re a Dog Friendly inn. I can show you.

In my past life I was taught how to write for humans. That’s so yesterday, so “Before Google”.  To be honest that was BEFORE computers, much less the Internet and Google. People today respond to images.


After all, a picture is worth…

Who says you can’t teach an old Blog new tricks?
