Lest I Forget – Googlebombing for Truth and Justice
For those not aware of what googlebombing is, it’s when a lot of links are placed to negative stories attached to the name of something or someone in particular or, a certain phrase. Google ‘miserable failure’ for an example of googlebombing in action.
Chris Bowers of MyDD has decided to takethe wingnuts on head-on by googlebombing every Republican candidate in the congressional election. Here’s the html code: a googlebomb gets bigger the more links there are, so to join in just cut and paste the source in your blog, publish it and pass it on with the smug glow of having stuck it to the wingnuts.
