Re: Hacking Google News?
I wish we'd had this discussion in time to see how Googlejuice affected the arrests at Friday's demonstrations in Washington. My suspicion is that there wouldn't have been any effect on Google News. Why? Two reasons: 1) Googlejuice is slow--news is fast. 2) I bet the Google News algorithms only take the weighting of news sites into account, not the sort of first-hand, ground-level reporting at which weblogging excels. In that case, the problem goes back to getting the attention of the news sites in the first place.
