Googlebomb Context

Joe Jenett gently upbraids me for not citing the source of the campaign to change the ranking of search results for the term ‘Jew’ in Google’s index.

I learned about it through a friend’s Live Journal, which I didn’t cite because that person prefers not to advertise her journal.

So I apologize for the omission.

The campaign to readjust Google’s results appears to be driven by word-of-blog and Live Journal. And has garnered sufficient attention that both Google and the ADL discuss it.
