Bloggers Beware! Cris Barbero

I dare anyone to google “died in a blogging accident.” Based upon the current google trends, blogging is one of the most dangerous actions a person can participate.

In all seriousness, the current google trends have been completely skewed by one comic posted on the hilarious, geeky comic strip XKCD.

This comic and it’s implications upon the google and their results for search terms illustrates just how shifty the internet and the google can be. As of the posting of this comic on Friday January 11, 2007 there were only 2 matching results for the search term ‘died in a blogging accident’. And as of the posting of this entry there are over 17,600 results for died in a blogging accident.

This just goes to show how quickly the internet and the google can shift. One day a completely random and inconsequential search term has only 2 results. The next it is one of the hottest search terms on the internet.
