My god. CNN is going to be doing a piece on Googlewhacking(god, it even has it's own site!) right away. This thing has got to be another piece by Scott Herriott. Maybe I should have watched NewsNight with Aaron Brown, which is where Scott's stuff usually originates. I think I have seen about 6 from Scott on NewsNight in the last couple months, and while this is not a major job, it is still good to see stuff from him and see that he is getting his name and work out there. I am sure Scott has made a good living from the various projects he must have in the works.
Oh... it isn't from Scott. It's from some Bruce guy. They are explaining what Googlewhacking is. For those not in the know, to googlewhack is: "Your goal: find that elusive query (two words - no quote marks) with a single, solitary result". There are more rules, but that is the essential gist of the game. I have not tried, for lack of time or patience, but a googlewhack must, for obvious reasons, reported and validated immediately, for a mention on ones web site will invariably make the googlewhack invalid. Check out the site, as it is rather interesting I am told. Sadly I cannot link to an online article about this from CNN as they never seem to post the fun news, only the bad shit. And people wonder why I stopped watching the news.
