Even better, don't hit the search button but the "I'm feeling lucky" button. |

Ah yes, but the truth behind your cute little reason for a thread is in this article:

But, that would mean being honest though, wouldn't it mith? Can't have that. |

I learned a new word today: "cybergraffiti."
Mith: what led you to type in that particular combination of words in the first place? How did the idea occur to you? |

I didn't actually - it's a technique called Google-bombing where people can set up enough pages with the same word that link to another in order to make it appear first when doing a search with that exact word. The term itself doesn't appear on Bush's profile itself but enough pages exist that do that make it appear right away. After that Bush supporters did the same thing to Michael Moore's, which is why it came in second.

Thought about it but Mith's a nice guy so I figured I'd let somebody else kill his thread.
Plus, it's not like he posted a link to Mahir Cagri's website or some dancing hamsters or anything that gauche. |

I just noticed what you wrote now. Bit touchy? The thread was about Googlebombing. I was thinking of using the Wikipedia article for ours and I was surprised that GW's bio was still on the top after all this time. The reason behind my 'cute little reason for a thread', was on the first page of my cute little reason for a thread. That was a nice bit of skullduggery on your part by moving your eyes two results down. Perhaps your skill in pointing out things obviously displayed on the front page would be better used in a post on how this board is actually owned by Dave Sperling? |
