That Multipointed Web 2.0 Badge Thingy Has a Name!

February 13th, 2007 · 1 Comment

You know what I am talking about… If you don’t, here are some prime examples:

web 2.0 badge exhibit 1

web 2.0 badge exhibit 2

You know how difficult it is to search for something when you don’t know what it is called, but you can describe it. I am talking about google here - it is impossible to end up with the right results if you don’t phrase your search in terms of the exact words used on the page that you’d like to end up with.
Well, I knew these things had to have a name, and I just found out what the name was. It is “violator” - so named since it violates the boxy nature and layout of the rest of the page, or ad or whatever.

Peace be unto you as it was unto me a few moments ago!!!

Google Patent Search

Google Patent Search

Google Patent Search covers the entire collection of patents made available by the USPTO—from patents issued in the 1790s through those issued in the middle of 2006. We don’t currently include patent applications, international patents, or U.S. patents issued over the last few months


The new search tool makes a joke trivial - have you ever tried to check if your idea is original? Try it now, and be amazed at how many people out there get patents, and for what silly “inventions”.
