Today I used Google's blog search to search for information on the
Internet outage Charter had on Monday.
I searched for:
charter internet outage
Try the search yourself at:
http://blogsearch.google.com
and then notice all the links with the words "charter internet outage"
in the middle of what looks like real blog text.
If you visit one you may see a video, which when clicked on tells you
you're running the wrong version of Flash, and asks if you want to
visit a new version from a site I've never heard of.
Gaming Google to get my machine infected? I'd guess so. Any other
points of view?
