Following on from his welcoming tirade against 9/11 conspiracy theorists, Charlie Brooker, perhaps the funniest commentator of the current time, turns his attention to the result of online searches. The reason his last post, which was on CiF and, being about 9/11 managed to attract...1778 comments, was given so much attention is the traffic it generated for the site. He highlights the ways in which certain key words - 9/11, names of celebrites, Obama and whatever else is hip with the kids at the moment - are delibrately wriggled into articles in order to up their slot on search results.
His article is worth a look. Then again, Charlie Brooker's articles are always worth a look.
