Miserable Failure google bomb and curent results.
Edited on Sat Jan-24-04 07:19 PM by Tripper11
In the past couple of weeks there has been google bombing going on where by everyone was linking the phrase "miserable failure" to the White House bio of *

Awesome job everyone!

I just found this story:

BELLEVUE - A Bellevue computer programmer is taking credit for a stunt that's making waves in the Internet world.

The 'Google bomb', as it's called, leads searchers of the phrase "miserable failure" on Google.com to an unexpected result: the official White House biography of President George Bush.

"I'm actually surprised how easy it was to do," George Johnston told the New York Times. "It took about 6 weeks to get Bush's biography as the No. 1 result. I had no idea when I'd get people all over the world involved.

Google bombing has quickly become an armchair sport among those who have a message to broadcast and perhaps a bit too much time on their hands. Unlike hacking into sites, Google bombing is a group sport, taking advantage of the Web-indexing innovation that led Google to search-engine supremacy.

*********************************************************************

I just did another Miserable Failure search (I'm feeling lucky) and got this result, George W. Bush, A.W.O.L

Keep spreading the word...AWOL has legs!!!!!

4. The news links show
that the media has caught it. So have the Freepers. GWB is still number one, followed by Carter, Michael Moore, Hillary, and Gephardt.
