Old-lady catalogs, revisited.
Can anyone tell me why Raspberry World turns up first on a Netscape search for Harriet Carter catalog?
Sure, I talked about Harriet Carter and Lillian Vernon last August, but one would think that a direct search on the words "Harriet Carter catalog" would bring you to www.harrietcarter.com. No? I mean, these companies do have web sites. I would think they'd get themselves listed in the search engines, too.
It's kind of cool, really, that these catalogs have web sites. Kinda like your grandmother getting hooked up to the web and sending you e-mail. You just wonder how the heck it happened. These sites may not provide the simplest online shopping experience you'll ever have, but they're improving with each year that goes by. And it's good to see these businesses taking advantage of the Internet. I mean, where else are you gonna buy bikini beer glasses and a talking beer bottle opener?
So here I am again, talking about Harriet and Lillian, and most likely skewing the search engines even more in my favor. I don't think this counts as a disturbing search request, but it's certainly kind of strange. I've had at least 6 hits in the past week from people looking for Ms. Carter's catalog.
Hey, did somebody mention Miles Kimball?
