Not that Silk Road, that's Why it's Funny

Because “Silk Road” is a black marketplace – buy items I wouldn’t want to be in Google for, using bitcoin (BTC) currency, and located on the Deep Web.

So ya, they’re not handing out these sticky-note ad specs.

Be careful if you go searching. The above link leads to Wikipedia, and that’s as far as I’ll go; I’d never let this computer touch that place.

Click that ‘deep web‘ link though, that’s neat.

Facebook & Twitter, the websites you visit, they’re floating at the top like Google.

Were you surprised at how large the Deep Web is?

It’s also know as: the Invisible Web, the Hidden web, the Deepnet, or the Undernet.

You’ll likely never visit there. The majority is publicly accessible, but not using your browser.

(NOTE: that’s just some Linux, not the actual Deep Web. Just wanted to give you a graphical example of how cruising the Deep Web is non-graphical)

Remember when that ‘User Based Billing’ incident happened in February ’11? And I made that rant-y video? Fast forward to 0:37, I’m talking about the Deep Web there.
