It has been two months and the GTREND data still reflects the dismal failure that is HD(OA)radio. com. I love the DOOFUS who kept saying that any publicity is good publicity I’m sure all manner of criminals; murderer, rapist and thief would beg to disagree. I’m sure if the Headline were “FAMOUS BALL PLAYER SENTENCED TO DEATH IN BABYMURDER/RAPE CASE” Babe Ruth would also disagree. The pro HDR faction likes to complain about repetition from the Anti-HDR blogs but how many different ways can you say, “FIRE….HOT!”? And remember the only reason we need to say, “fire, hot” is because of all the idiots saying “fire, cold”.<BR/><BR/>I also give moron points to the Anon-Retard who writes back and forth to himself:<BR/><BR/>[ "Have you ever done a Google News search on "HD Radio" and seen all of the bullshit stories about HD Radio”.]<BR/><BR/>\I have...most of them are from haters. And most of them are BS too.\<BR/><BR/>BWAHAHAHA! What a CHOAD! He goes on to claim to himself, “NO ONE! makes money with HDR”. I guess Bob “thenob” Struble and all of his employees are unpaid volunteers as are all their blog “stealth” shills. Companies don’t need to make money in order for certain people to make money even if the company fails. After everyone points out he is WRONG his argument changes to “It doesn’t effect you why do you care”? Well we care because we caught you in a LIE you said “NO ONE” why would we now listen to anything you say? You’re a very desperate LIAR who is attempting to stifle just criticism through criticism and nothing more.<BR/><BR/><“ and no one cares. Go out an get laid. The weather is nice outside”. > <BR/><BR/>If no one cares WHY DO YOU? I would guess you get “out” and laid less than anyone here. By your own admission HDR is a dead and failed technology so our kicking the dead horse is doing nothing to bring it back to life in the real world. Maybe some of us hate the HDR abomination so much that we don’t want this disgrace to ever be repeated or forgotten perhaps this “Dead Tech” must be kept “alive” in cyberspace forever as an example to future generations. I’m sure all the whining and moaning to the contrary will only prolong your misery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639893053950014759.post-84345995341445919392008-07-16T14:28:00.000-04:002008-07-16T14:28:00.000-04:00After reading your opinions on HD-R recently I tho...After reading your opinions on HD-R recently I thought you might find this of interest. In a recent Reuters articles entitled, “HD Digital Radio Alliance Expands Marketing Campaign to Convert Consumer Awareness...” An HD Alliance spokesman claims an exponential growth in traffic to HDRadio.com. I feel this statement maybe misleading, after all if they had 1 hit in 2006 and then 7 hits in 2008 isn’t that exponential growth? Without actual numbers who knows what they mean and what happened to’07? <BR/>“The Alliance also revealed that traffic to HDRadio.com continues to grow exponentially, with the number of page views so far in 2008 exceeding that of 2006, the site's first year.”<BR/><BR/>http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS86566+30-Jun-2008+PRN20080630<BR/><BR/>This started me thinking Google Trends (G/T) charts how often a particular search term is entered relative the total search volume across various regions of the world, and in various languages. I understand this is not a definitive method but in the absence of actual numbers it could be a rough indicator of actual interest. Look what happens when you use G/T to look up the site www.hdradio.com:<BR/><BR/>“Your terms - www.hdradio.com - do not have enough search volume to show graphs.”<BR/><BR/>http://www.google.com/trends?q=www.hdradio.com&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 <BR/><BR/>Then I thought, “Who googles a web address”? But, if you try www.ipod.com, www.sirius.com or www.xmradio.com they all come back graphed with results. I think the HD spinster may be laying it on a bit thick I find it hard to believe that www.hdradio.com generates no G/T data yet they’ve had “meaningful” growth over two years. To be fair HD radio does create Gtrend data but it includes both pro and con sites in its data set. It seems to me hdradio.com is actually HDOA. I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes well know that the NAB tries to artificially influence Gtrends.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639893053950014759.post-76652297207548983632008-06-25T23:17:00.000-04:002008-06-25T23:17:00.000-04:00**If you bought into it, forget it.
