Topic: Technology 1:16 pm EST, Jan 22, 2004

] Google certainly isn't the only search engine whose
] results can be gamed by users acting in concert.
] President Bush's biography is also the No. 1 search
] result for "miserable failure" on Yahoo, which draws on

Mentions how a small group of users can do lots of linking and manipulate the results returned by Google. However the point is that people are linking to these things and are discussing about them, and isn't that the point of the Internet anyway? Furthermore, ITs not "corrupting" the results persay, since "miserable failure" is so generic a search term anyway
