Interesting..
I would expect that the amount of bad referencies he was deliberately created would have to sink his business
Better search ranking should catalyze his decline... -

That's a bit OTT isn't it?
Why doesn't he just encourage journalism to be less lazy?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40467957/ns/us_news-wikileaks_in_security/Sounds fairly ridiculous and scary. Why not to start learning to keep secrets as secrets
Honestly, when a "secret" is leaked outside some organization then there is something already gone wrong badly - It's usually some employer who feels that the secret must be make public and/or security measures are broken (like lost USB stick).
I sure understand that these leaks are bad for US government and they foreign relations, but I cannot understand the rage against Wikileaks. The in-house leaker could as easily have picked some (or multiple) established traditional journals. Well... actually they have published the material (even before Wikileaks made the documents public) and still I have not hear any rage against washingtonpost or any US media. At the same time, some government official begging for assassination of Julian Assange - some hypocrisy? (maybe this needs a own topic) -

Have to give a bit credit for the google with wikileaks embassy cables. At least they have not behaved like PayPal, Amazon, EveryDNS or Tableau Software who all did kick wikileaks off from they service apparently after some governmental pressure, and the key data is still available as google fusiontables.

Checked out the site, this guy is one step below Rush Limbaugh and the rest; it's conspiracy craziness and supposition with an inflammatory bent. The only thing missing is UFOs and Black Helicopters, but the site has the veneer of a proper news outlet. I see no real "news" content, it's all opinion and loosely tied together half-truths. No reason for Google to put it up as news. Typical fringe talk; he's repressed, it's all a conspiracy to shut him and his site down, Google is spying on the world, blah, blah, blah...
Boy sounds like what I see every day on TV, congress ( both right and left) etc. Informed public should be able to make up their own minds without mommy telling them what to believe. If it really proves bad it will wither and die on the vine. I was once told to believe 1/2 what you see and 1/4 what you are told, I think we have raised a world of victims that can not make a decision on any thing w/o someone telling them what to do and thus they are not responsible for anything.
What has happen to free will?? -
Not entirely related to the thread's subject, so slightly off topic, but I thought this one was highly amusing. Personally I just don't see what all the fuss is about over Google collecting geospatial map data, but this one is particularly funny (both by name and amount they received in compensation)!
I can't vouch though for the truth in the subject- coming from the Metro newspaper!

I'd love it if the Guardian got investigated!!
It would wipe its ugly smug smile off its ugly smug Grauniad face (Grauniad being a once joke about a paper who used to also be quite good at making a lot of spelling and typo mistakes). The paper isn't a patch on what it used to be. Although always a liberal newspaper, The Guardian has become more like a tabloid- like The Daily Mail. In fact one could argue that both newspapers have become increasingly sensationalist to hold onto their readers as well as gain new ones. It's why I now read Spiked Online, because it looks at a lot of these sensationalist stories from another perspective, one which exposes much contradiction. This is why I don't find Wikileaks at all cutting edge.
You've got to remember that the internet changed a lot of things- especially newspapers. A brilliant illustration of this were in HBO's The Wire series, where local Baltimore newspapers ran a fictional story about a mass homeless killer- just in order to keep newspaper sales up, yet under their nose, a far more important story involving gang culture and real murder had arisen, a story that was totally ignored.
