A few years ago groups of people set forth to let the then-president of the United States know exactly what they thought of him by using a technique that came to be known as “Google Bombing”. By using the text “miserable failure” in links leading to the White House biography for George W. Bush, it was possible to make that page rank #1 in search results for the term “miserable failure”.
Google set about to alter their algorithms to anticipate and dampen the effect of Google Bombing, supposedly removing the ability for this to happen again.
Well folks… I’m here to tell you that our new president isn’t fairing much better - this time with the phrase “who is failure”.
