I saw two major dethronement’s in my life, which I believed to be impossible.

1. the east German government by its own people without a single shot being fired.

2. Microsoft by Google in the web and to some degree desktop game. A feat I would not have believed just some years earlier, when Microsoft “killed” the superior OS/2 Warp by “Big Blue” IBM.

1. was done from the inside
2. was done from the outside

What does it tell you? Both is possible.
That is my unscientific argumentation hehe.

Cheers!

Now, where do you think Google’s usurper will come from, or will they be the last (tech) emperor?

Hey guys, thanks. Now I’m all embarrassed. Carsten, thanks – i’ll have to obsessively scour the article again to find that typo.

I really like Rand’s diagrams at SEOmoz and am often jealous I didn’t do them first :)

Hey Raj, good post and I only saw one typo with my limited knowledge of the English language hehe.

Don’t worry about the cowardly comment. Some people believe that anonymity is necessary to be able to disagree and express that disagreement publicly.

Your graphics is beating SEOMoz sketches by light years. Some of Rand’s creation require an illustration to illustrate the illustration hehe.

Thanks, Loren. It really was meant to be a humorous commentary on Cringeley’s post, not a work of art.

Note to future detractors: Please use your real name and even a link to your site. I’ll have a lot more respect for your opinion if you do. If you’re going to criticize, I’m happy to learn, if you give a good alternate example.

If you want to see diagrams, check out the Bootstrapper blog that I write for someone. Is that a bit more new-school with the diagrams? If so, then I’ll try to do more of that style here at SEJ.

Hey Raj, nice diagram. Don’t let the naysayers wear you down. Your diagrams are appreciated by a lot of readers :)

JoeShmoe: Read the little note that says “Note: Purely tongue in cheek”. And my apologies if you think my diagrams are old-school. Kiddish AND old-school. Don’t know what that means. Maybe you’re just smarter than the rest of us. The diagram in my last post was also meant to be humorous.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen ANY SEO blog other than SEOMoz doing much in the way of diagrams, to explain things visually to noobs. So if you’d bothered to have a link to your site, maybe you could show me how it should be done.
