The Poetic Prophet (AKA The SEO Rapper) is back with another marketing rap. This time he describes how web standards and proper design can affect the ranking and conversion of pages on your site.
lyrics:Your site design is the first thing people see
it should be reflective of you and the industry
easy to look at with a nice navigation
when you can't find what you want it causes frustration
a clear Call to action to increase the temptation
use appealing graphics they create motivation
if you have animation
use with moderation
cause search engines can't index the information
display the logos of all your associations
highlight your contact info that's an obligation
create a clean design you can use some decoration
but to try to prevent any client hesitation
every page that they click should provide and explanation
should be easy to understand like having a conversation
when you design the style go ahead and use your imagination
but make sure you use correct color combinations
do some investigation, look at other organizations
but don't duplicate or you might face a litigation
design done, congratulations but it's time to start construction
follow these instructions when you move into production
your photoshop functions then slice that design
do your layout with divs make sure that it's aligned
please don't use tables even though they work fine
when it come to indexing they give searches a hard time
make it easy for the spiders to crawl what you provide
remove font type, font color and font size
no background colors, keep your coding real neat,
tag your look and feel on a separate style sheet
better results with xml and css
now you making progress, a lil closer to success
describe your doctype so the browser can relate
make sure you do it great or it won't validate
check in all browsers, I do it directly
gotta make sure that it renders correctly
some use IE, some others use Flock
some use AOL, I use Firefox
title everything including links and images
don't use italics, use emphasis
don't use bold, please use strong
if you use bold that's old and wrong
when you use CSS, you page will load quicker
client satisfied like they eating on a snicker
they stuck on your page like you made it with a sticker
and then they convert now that's the real kicker
make you a lil richer, your site a lil slicker
design and code right man I hope you get the picture
what I'm telling you is true man it should be a scripture
if it's built right you'll be the pick of the litter
everyone will want to follow you like twitter
competition will get bitter and you'll shine like glitter
if you trying to grow your company will get bigger
design and code right man can you get with it

Google Tech Talks
November, 8 2007
ABSTRACT
This presentation is about a potential shortcut to artificial intelligence by trading mind-design for world-design using artificial evolution. Evolutionary algorithms are a pump for turning CPU cycles into brain designs. With exponentially increasing CPU cycles while our understanding of intelligence is almost a flat-line, the evolutionary route to AI is a centerpiece of most Kurzweilian singularity scenarios. This talk introduces the Polyworld artificial life simulator as well as results from our ongoing attempt to evolve artificial intelligence and further the Singularity.
Polyworld is the brain child of Apple Computer Distinguished Scientist Larry Yaeger, who remains the primary developer of Polyworld:

Speaker: Virgil Griffith
Virgil Griffith is a first year graduate student in Computation and Neural Systems at the California Institute of Technology. On weekdays he studies evolution, computational neuroscience, and artificial life. He did computer security work until his first year of university when his work got him sued for sedition and espionage. He then decided that security was probably not safest field to be in and he turned his life to science.

http://www.ted.com With 3.8 billion years of research and development on its side, nature has already solved problems that human designers and engineers still struggle with. In this inspiring talk, Janine Benyus provides fascinating examples of biomimicry -- the way humans mimic nature in the products we build and the systems we implement. And because the champion adapters in the natural world are, by definition, those that can survive without destroying the environment that sustains them, biomimicry can contribute to the long-term health of our planet.

Python Design Patterns
Alex Martelli
Design Patterns must be studied in the context on the language in which they'll get implemented -- the Gang of Four made that point strongly in their book, though almost everybody else seems not to have noticed. This talk explores some "classic" DPs in all the various categories -- Creational, Structural, and Behavioral -- studying how they show up in Python programs and how they interact with Python's special strengths.
Speaker Bio:Alex Martelli is Uber Tech Lead (Production Systems) at Google. Alex is the author of "Python in a Nutshell", co-editor of the "Python Cookbook", a Member of the Python Software Foundation, and winner of the 2002 Activators' Choice Award and 2006 Frank Willison award for outstanding contributions to the Python community.

WORLD PREMIERE JUNE 10 ATLANTA FILM FESTIVAL
Future by Design shares the life and far-reaching vision of Jacque Fresco, considered by many to be a modern day Da Vinci. Peer to Einstein and Buckminster Fuller, Jacque is a self-taught futurist who describes himself most often as a "generalist" or multi-disciplinarian -- a student of many inter-related fields. He is a prolific inventor, having spent his entire life (he is now 90 years old) conceiving of and devising inventions on various scales which entail the use of innovative technology. As a futurist, Jacque is not only a conceptualist and a theoretician, but he is also an engineer and a designer.

'Intelligent Design' (ID) is a new form of creationism that emerged after legal decisions in the 1980s hampered the inclusion of 'creation science' in the public school curriculum. In the 20 years since ID appeared, there has been no evidence of it being used to solve problems in biology. Although the scientific/scholarly part of ID has been a failure, the 'cultural renewal' part of ID has been a success, as supporters of ID seek 'restoration' of a theistic sensibility in American culture to replace what they consider an overemphasis on secularism.

In this classic 2002 talk, he shares some video of products coming out of IDEO, including Prada's famous high-tech dressing rooms, "Dilbert's ultimate cubicle," and a gotta-have-it gadget called Spyfish. He finishes by discussing a project he's passionate about: ApproTEC -- now called KickStart -- offering designs that give Kenyans the means to end poverty.

"Simple Design"
I live a chemical life
I'm on a mission to try
You went insane for a day
I'll have to shove it away
My only option is gone
Smile as they break and they fall
You want a simpler life
You can't erase what was mine
You must be out of your mind!
This was a simple design!
You fuck it up everytime
How could you leave me behind
It's alright, it's alright
'cause I know what you want
but you'll just have to wait
If I had it to give
I would give it away
I'm living it up
while I'm falling from grace
There's no way, there's no way that I'm running away
I'm used to making it worse
Made up of four letter words
You wanna know what it was
Now isolated and gone
You fall apart at the seams
I'll never know what it means
Try not to pull it apart
You're aiming straight from the heart
It had to be the worst for me
I don't know what to say so let me be
And now I find you left me behind
I don't know what to say so nevermind!
You're mine!

Na segunda parte do vídeo, poderá apreciar a continuação da entrevista e também dois extras: A íntegra de um comercial com Sylvia e o "Coelhão" e outro onde poderá conhecer a irmã da Sylvia.
Durante os dois blocos de sua entrevista, Sylvia contou passagens de sua vida, falou de seus pais que ainda moram no Ceará e das confusões dos clientes que não acreditam que a garota-propaganda seja a proprietária da loja.
Também foram exibidos alguns trechos de suas propagandas. A entrevista contou com a participação de Alexandre, o coelhão que participa das propagandas ao lado da Sylvia.
No final da entrevista, Sylvia e Coelhão fizeram uma demonstração de venda com o sofá do programa e até do sexteto.
Observação: O vídeo foi dividido em duas partes, devido ao limite de 10min/vídeo no YouTube.

· Saiba mais sobre Sylvia Design:
A empresária do ramo moveleiro, conhecida como sylvia design, ficou famosa pelo seu jeito inovador de vender seus móveis na televisão.
Usando fantasias de mulher-gato, minnie, mulher-maravilha e rebelde, Sylvia ainda abusa de seu forte sotaque cearense e do jeito desinibido e animado.
Sylvia, que na verdade se chama Josefa Adecilda Silva de Araújo, saiu do interior do ceará e veio tentar a sorte em São Paulo.
Trocou o nome, vestiu uma roupa nova e foi trabalhar de empacotadora no setor de brinquedos do extinto "Jumbo-Electro".
Passou algum tempo no supermercado e depois partiu para uma loja de móveis na Rua Teodoro Sampaio, famosa por esse tipo de comércio.
Trabalhou durante onze anos nessa loja e, com o dinheiro guardado, conseguiu abrir sua primeira loja: a Sylvia Design.
Hoje, sylvia controla pessoalmente uma cadeia de quatro megalojas e ainda tem projetos para novas unidades.

· Novidades: Após ser entrevistada por Jô Soares, projetando sua imagem a nível nacional, Sylvia tem sido convidada repetidas vezes para participar de um programa de TV de variedades também exibido em rede nacional.
Aproveitando a boa audiência que Sylvia contribuiu para alavancar da programação transmitida ao vivo, a direção do programa prolongou sua participação em sua primeira aparição na emissora e tornou a convidá-la para participar outras vezes.
Chegou a conversar com Tom Cavalcante e, neste mesmo dia, apresentou o quadro "Segredo do cofre" e a atender telespectadores, como fazem os veteranos apresentadores do "Hoje em Dia" da Rede Record.
Sylvia conquistou São Paulo e está conquistando o Brasil com o seu carisma. Comprovado o sucesso, Sylvia é uma revelação na Televisão e tem grande potencial para se tornar apresentadora.
· Notícias: Sylvia Design ganhou um quadro fixo no programa matutino da TV Record "Hoje em Dia" que se chama "Sylvia Visita". Tem sido um sucesso. Os primeiros a serem visitados pela 'mulher gato cearense' foram Frank Aguiar e Mara Maravilha.
