um soo... ive been wondering this for the longest time i have a follower who post shit like you, do you guys make stuff like this horridly bad for sarcasm to mock noobs, or do you guys really dont know how web art should look like. or is this style of art is appealing to you? because i see that many ppl reblog it so im somewhat confused. because in my honest opinion as a gfx artist this shit is ridiculous. like its somthing youd see on the tim and eric show or somthing.

I watch Full House and laugh when Michelle makes a funny face. I get worried am I the kinda person who thinks Full House is lame, or the kind that laughs at it? Am I currently in a phase where I'm finding myself, or losing myself?

Google Skills is an attempt at turning surfing into form. From the start we have been trying to break down the barrier between watching and creating. This is an invitation to join us in doing this.

From now on this blog will be less about the skills of the creators of the project, and more about how you decide to use it. For every post made by someone behind GS, there will be at least one post submitted by someone who was formerly a viewer/follower of GS.

This could lead to an extreme increase of posting. But it could just as easily turn Google skills into a dead project. With this risk in mind we still feel that our existence should be decided by the people who have been our crowd.

Much like the search engine we leach on, we are nothing without our users. And much like Google we will continue to lead the project in our idea of what it should be. This does not mean that we will claim ownership of other people’s work. On the contrary, by opening up the project like this, it becomes possible for anyone to say that they are the person behind posts on GS.

We realize how the blog system works and know that a text of any length will not be read by most of our followers, since they are preoccupied with the full-time occupation of self-design and self-branding. With this in mind we have decided to put in a loophole for ourselves: we are going to repost the call for submissions every month, no matter how many contributions we receive. And since the language of the web is predominantly visual it will be accompanied by a work from some of the people who started GS.
