The caption reads, &#8220;When you&#8217;re courting the search engines, you have to be sensitive to their needs.&#8221; (My wife got a chuckle out of that).

An HP employee helped sink the dagger deeper by commenting on that post. Well, now it&#8217;s HP&#8217;s turn to get called out.
HP&#8217;s ad shows 2 peacock&#8217;s &#8212; the &#8220;cheap replacement ink&#8221; peacock with a small tail, and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got two issues with Kodak&#8217;s new &#8220;most expensive liquid ads (ads for their printers that use less expensive ink).
The first is factual: the worlds most expensive liquid is NOT printer ink. I&#8217;d guess it&#8217;s either medicine or (most likely) perfume.

It doesn&#8217;t look like anyone tweeted about me and recommended following me, and there&#8217;s nothing in Google blog search that would explain it.

We wouldn&#8217;t send any email out, and no email would come in. (But messages to us wouldn&#8217;t get lost because the senders&#8217; servers would keep retrying till we turned our SMTP servers back on tomorrow).
