As of this writing, the top story on the tech news site Techmeme is that Google has modified its algorithm to negate a number of popular Googlebombs. I checked, and thankfully a search for the phrase deadbeat ex-housemate, both within and without quotes, still returns my deadbeat ex-housemate’s weblog as the number one result. Honor, if not my bank account, remains satisfied.
