Great news!

Like many of you, I too come to ODJT for general answers regarding songs, gear, software and more. It has just come to my attention that
the internet has these free devices called "search engines". You simply type your question or key word into them and hit enter. They even have cute and easy to remember names like "Google", "Yahoo", "Bing" and others.

This should really cut down the number of questions posted here daily and free up time to post more funny and sarcastic topics!

:tribiggrin:

Now, if we could just find a place to get national and world news from.

Google and the like may not offer potential "real world experiences" that one might share when responding to a question that one may pose, typically about dj related items.

That's a horse of a different color Steve. Someone looking to gain insight usually states that fact. I'm referring to the types of queries that can be answered from simple searches. Myself and many other members have answered a great many questions doing just that for the OP. It's like people with drivers licenses that can't parallel park or pump their own gas.

Why talk to Google when I can talk to a real person? And I can parallel park and pump my own gas (In more ways than one)!
 
Typing on a forum is no more of a 'real person' than is Google, imo. This reminds me of the commercial where the young woman talks about how many (facebook) 'friends' she has while sitting alone in her apartment. ;)

Hmmm, maybe I should hook up with her -- what's her Skype handle...? :D

I agree. This was a pretty ignorant post, imo. People come here to ask questions to get answers from PEOPLE who have been through it already. Doing a search for "How do you map the NS7 to VDJ" would bring up a ton of results, but I would rather get it from someone personally who can help me if I get it wrong. Know what I mean?

I don't mean to start an argument, don't get me wrong. I just think that doing a generalized search for something as personal as DJing is the wrong way to go, and thats why I am happy to answer any questions anyone has about the things that I know about. Knowledge should not be hidden in search results, it should be freely given when asked for by people who have such knowledge. I don't care if we've had the same question 1,437 times, I will still be happy to be the 1438th person to offer an answer.

Well let me be the first to assure you that Hank is probably the least ignorant person on this board. But as far as his original OP - I will have to let Hank explain that one or maybe he already did~~~~

"This should really cut down the number of questions posted here daily and free up time to post more funny and sarcastic topics!"

That is Hank's (sic) sense of humor! Visit his lounge one Friday Night and you will know what I'm talking about!:tritongue:
 
Then I apologize :)
Like I said, I wasn't trying to argue... I just feel that if someone can learn from my experience, it's my duty to help them. I didn't have ANY help when I was coming up, so I know what its like to be frustrated, and not having anyone to answer you when you need to know something. That's all :D

It's all good and don't worry - I have lots of things that needs to be answer!!!!:tribiggrin: You can start by going to the DJ Gear section and answer my question about the new EV mic I would like to buy!!!:triwink:
 
I assume most of you know, that if you do a search on a search engine about a DJ topic -- there's a damn fine chance that the results will show something from this place in the top 5... ;) :)


I do tons of related Google searches on programming topics, and it works better than going to the individual site to search. The search engines do a much better job of weeding in the correct places to start, then the search features on boards like vBulletin (which suck IMHO).

So, I think you will get better results using the search engines as mentioned, and therefore you can see the posts and info on other sites as well, which serves to vet the information you're looking for...


That means more time for Hank's Lounge... :D

That's a valid example and NOT what I'm taking a sarcastic jab at. It's when someone is looking for the most simplistic things (like today's Oak Ridge Boys query).
Although, I would rather get a question answered specific to VDJ from a VDJ forum and not a general one.

Now, I have to go and sort my left and right socks.
