Luckily I had time to capture some screenshots of the photos posted on the account before its removal. It’s nice to look […]

Have you Seen this MySpace?

Comments 26 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Apparently Keira-Anne lives in Austin Texas, she has a friend in Vancouver named “Bridg” that loves the Canucks and what looks like Spanish Banks, is actually someplace called “Tribune Bay”.

Metro Vancouver vs Google

Comments 3 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Apparently Metro Vancouver, fka the GVRD is hurt and displeased with its google rank and is in need of some serious SEO help. If you Google it, you’ll get eight other entries, including a newspaper, soccer league and hotel before you finally find the one for the body formerly known as the GVRD. Staff tell […]
