Google Wipes Out OnlineTV

I woke up today to find some kind of strange retribution from Google. I received and email from a fan that told me that OnlineTV did not exist on the Google search engine anymore. I was not amused. Going to google and searching for “Onlinetv” produced no relevant results! This was incredible.

An MSN search was much more what it had been.

For almost all our 9 years here on the Internet, webcasting events from around the world. Goggle had us as the first non-paid entry followed by 100’s of other page results from our site all the years Google has been around. Today I did not find anything relevant at all. The only result was OnlineTV 2, which recently worked a deal with us to market their OnlineTV Player. I searched for “Online TV” which usually resulted in being at least listed on the first page. Nada. I finally searched for “onlinetv.com” and came up as non-existent. This search always produced my sites and all the searches produced 100’s of relevant links to my sites. Now, nothing. As if OnlineTV never existed.

Well, we know we own the US Registered Trademark for the name, and have always owned the domain OnlineTV.com since it existed. It has been highly listed on Google since day one of Google, as it is the relevant return of a search for this keyword "onlinetv". So what has changed?

OnlineTV has recently added articles by its founder Rick Siegel about 911. It has been only a couple weeks and this strange event happens. We don’t know why Google took us from existence. Our site is fine, it contains no abuse, no illegal content, we are the Trademark owners; header tags are fine, yet without notice we are wiped from the largest search engine in the world. This after being here for 9+ years!

We encourage you to go to Google and search for “onlinetv” then go to the bottom of the page where it says “Dissatisfied? Help us improve” and tell them you can’t get a relevant return on their search. Explain that it is easy to find multiple relevant returns on your search from MSN and the site is not listed anywhere on Google. It does not even exist as “OnlineTV.com”. For the space to fill in the proper URL to be returned; put our main site "http://www.onlinetv.com/nuke" and let’s hope that somehow our listing shall return to the world.

This is a travesty and should be remedied quickly.

Andrew Rasiej - Elite Society Bar Keep

I found this bit of information on another blog and borrowed it. It was an anonymous post but I found it was something I could share. In my years knowing Mr Rasiej I concur with the assessment of this individual. While I never worked directly for AndrewRasiej, preferring to keep my distance from disaster, this gentleman had. I knew many like him, students and others that also came to work for my company in the Internet Broadcast industry. I may be the only person Rasiej admitted to joining the elite secret society to advance himself a “secure seat on the train” as he put it. The election is over and he lost pathetically, but he will keep trying so here it is:



“NOT A MENSCH: I know Rasiej personally and I did quite a bit of serious work for MOUSE. I came into MOUSE very enthused about its mission and left it quite disappointed. I eventually began to see MOUSE as a profound ego-trip and little more than a set-up for Rasiej's future political career. I used to call Andrew, "Mayor." There is nothing all that wrong with being ambitious and setting up a political career. Almost anyone who runs for office is. But Andrew, the more I got to know him, didn't strike me as a good guy. The ambition wasn't in the right place. The organization wasn't anywhere nearly as useful as it should have been or could have been....

MOUSE HURT KIDS AND TEACHERS: MOUSE's aim was to wire up NYC public schools. As much as Andrew talked the visionary talk, MOUSE never delivered any real substance or content or educational applications beyond just doing wiring. We were glorified amateur plumbers doing sloppy wiring jobs in schools that needed a new gym or dance class or art class or smaller class sizes or good security a whole lot more than they needed cat. 5 cables dangling sloppily out of ceiling panels. Many teachers agreed but couldn't say so. The stuff we brought into the schools wasn't really helping forward kids education or teachers' jobs in any significant ways. It was like, OK, now we can check sports scores and download music during free period. In two years, I never saw the Internet-enabled computers used for anything more significant than just checking email. Fine. Great. These kids deserve and need to have email. But there was never any significant educational app. In fact, it felt like the entire project was geared towards building Rasiej's profile in then-hot "Silicon Alley." Not to get all Buddhist, but it was clear that there was something wrong with the "intention" behind MOUSE. And that really manifested itself in the schools.


ELITISM / TECHNO-UTOPIANISM: Andrews campaign is profoundly disconnected from the issues that the vast majority of New Yorkers need dealt with. Wi-fi is definitely an elite concern and I dont' think your argument convinces otherwise. Should NYC have free, citywide, wifi? Definitely! It would be a great thing. But is wiring the city going to amazingly solve a bunch of big, intractable, social problems? No. Simply wiring the schools didn't solve the big problems in the schools either. “
