Google - the Internet Equivalent of the Library of Alexandria

There's no question that Google is a tremendous search engine. I've heard more than one reporter talk about googling this person or that.

So here's a little trick that someone told me about. Go to Google, type in failure, and you'll have to laugh at the first few entries.

  2. Oh yeah. Shots both at GW & Michael Moore! I think it's called "googlebombing." Someone will create a site with the word "failure" and then link that site to GW repeatedly, and voila.

  4. To Anon 12:12, I googled my name and was referred immediately to the Chippendale site. Don't hate me cause you can't be me.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
