Here’s a look at the top 10 crews. This also features some clips from last years winners, Jabbawockeez.

My picks for the night:

West Coasts Super Cr3w - They had a Ninja theme going that was exciting from the very beginning.
Houston’s SoReal - They exploded to a whole new level.
Washington D.C.’s Boogie Bots - A smooth blend of Kaba Modern & JabbaWockeeZ.
Philadelphia’s Phresh Select - These guys turned up the volume.
San Francisco’s Supreme Soul - Promises to bring the heat this season.

Bottom two up for elimination:
Los Angeles-based Fanny Pak
Distorted X from Texas

The judges have spoken, Distorted X is the first crew to go home.

Let me know what you think of the mashup. Soon I’m hoping to get a beta page out where interested bloggers can start signing up.

In fact, the interesting thing is that when I go through the day about 2 times per day (on average) my mind will start writing a blog post. It’s like I’m writing a blog post of the experience in my head. I know that’s weird, but it’s what happens. It could be something that’s said on the radio or possibly something that happens at work. Oh yeah, and my kids often have me saying, “That would be a good blog post.”

Honestly, I don’t need to call home and talk to my wife to see how she’s doing. I can just pull up our family blog and find out how her day is going. It’s usually a pretty good indication of our state of being. If I view our blog and don’t see any posts. Then, I know I better get home quick. Things haven’t been tame enough for her to blog. Not a good sign.

Now, I should admit that I haven’t really taken any serious measures to increase my page rank. I’ve just continued promoting my blog and blogging about topics of interest to me and I hope that it will pay off with success when the page rank update happens.

Well, tonight I finally decided to start a little search to see what kind of rumors were out there about the next Google page rank update (and yes I know it’s just really an export and that page rank is constantly updated). PR is an interesting and important measure for many people interested in advertising on your site.

Well, I found this list that showed the history of all the2007 google page rank updates (and other updates). Looks like it could happen any time. Let’s hope it happens soon and more importantly, that the changes are good for my various blogs.

2007 Waiting TBPR Export Estimation Jul 21 86
2007 Waiting GDPR Export Estimation Mar 19/06 582
2007 Apr 30 TBPR Export: Toolbar Pagerank Export.
2007 Jan 25 Algorithm Update: Algorithm Update. Reduce Googlebomb Impact
2007 Jan 25 TBPR Export: Toolbar Pagerank Export.
Estimated Jan 28/2007 Jan 25 TBPR & BL Export
2007 Jan 10 TBPR & BL Export: Toolbar Pagerank & BL Export.

Here’s the definitions:
TBPR Export: Toolbar PageRank Export - export of Real PR to the Toolbar PR 11 unit scale (no longer called a PR update as Real PR is updated continously and the Toolbar PR change is just an export of that updated value).
GDPR Export: Google Directory Export - export of Real PR to the Google Directory 8 unit scale (no longer called a PR update as Real PR is updated continously and the Google directory PR change is an export of that updated value).
BL Export: Backlink Export - export of a sample of the number of backlinks which is almost meaningless as it is only a sample number. This number can be seen with the link:www.domain.tld command (no longer called a BL update as backlinks are updated continously and the visible BL number change is an export of that updated value).
Algo Update: Algorithm Update - a major update in the Ranking algorithm that causes a large SERP change.
TB Program Version Change: Toolbar Program Version Change - a software version change to the Google toolbar that displays PR.
Days: Days between toolbar PR exports.

Turns out, someone decided to go ahead and aggregate the most popular blogging topic: Celebrity Gossip into one place for all to read, rate and comment. It seems like the site is just new and so that is why there isn’t many comments or ratings. Hopefully that will change over time, because it is an interesting idea. However, I think there’s also another possibility. I’ve found that if I post to my blog a couple times of day (which is essentially required as a celebrity gossip aggregator), then the news goes by so quickly that people don’t get a chance to comment or rate.

The site is pretty well laid out, but I think it’s going to take them a lot of work to make the site valuable to people and get enough interactivity. Only about 10% of people who visit websites actually comment (although I think it might be lower in this case).

My favorite part of the blog was just seeing pictures of the celebrities:

Katie Holmes:

Fergie:

Paris Hilton

Jessica Simpson

I love celebrities.

I do hate having to manually change the permissions for InstantUpgrade. If my host gave me command line access it would be a breeze. However, I don’t have that and so the manual file permission changes are a bit of a pain. At least now it’s done and I shouldn’t have to do it again.

Well, I do love the new Wordpress features. The auto save is pretty sweet and always makes me happy. I love the adding comments on the fly. I think there’s a few more, but I can’t remember what they are. Anyway, I think I’m at the end of the updates. Now, if I can just stay on top of updating Wordpress.

Oh well, this one is rising and has a great name that people love to click. I’m interested to see what’s going to happen with the next Google PR update. Should be interesting to see if any of my scores change. I really want to get one of these 2 blogs back to a PR 5.
