Spank Google and Win Flowers!

An haiku in honor of yesterday’s Google spanking:

First, do no evil:
Google’s promise long ago.
Then they made money.

Are you still licking your wounds after being thrashed by Google yesterday?

Here’s a fun way to cheer up and win free flowers!

That’s right: Electric Venom and the folks at Flora2000 - Premium Flowers Worlwide have teamed up to bring you this contest, with the lucky winner getting a prize of $80 in free flowers delivered anywhere in the United States WORLD!

Send roses to your roommate, or to me. How about an iris for someone in Israel, or for me? Snapdragons for someone in Saigon, or for me? You could order gardenias for your grandma in Greece, or for me. How about an azalea for your auntie in Aruba, or for me? Maybe you’d rather have a bouquet delivered down the hall to your boss, or to Kansas just for me? Well, as you can see, the possibilities are limitless! And, no, you don’t have to send them to me.

How do you get in on the action? The rules are simple:

1. Write a haiku about Google. Love ‘em, hate ‘em, it doesn’t matter: just make sure you stick with the format.

2. Leave your haiku in the comment section along with a valid email address so I can contact you if you’re the winner. (Your email will not be shared with anyone else.)

3. Enter as often as you like, but only ONE entry per comment.

4. The winner will be announced Monday sometime before midnight (Central U.S. time.)

What are you waiting for? Have at it, folks!

what I think of Google ranks.
My rank is zero.

Kate asked for haikus
Some people wrote more than one
I think that’s cheating

But one at a time.

Actually, my haiku is a series and will best be read consecutively. Here’s hoping no one posts in between and breaks the flow! ^_^;

links from Technoratiso I jumped at the chance to prove him wrong. (I’m just that way.) That’s when I launched CM and QOS. After signing up to do reviews with one company, I was making over $1800 per month. Then paid bloggers got spanked, and even though Imade light of it(and another $250), my income took a dive. (Aside: I have to confess there’s a small part of me which revels in the fact that they got spanked on their stock prices since then, too. They’re currently listed nearly $200 per share lower than when I
