Let’s subpoena the biggest, shadowiest company of them all: the US government!

Speaking of MSN search results; it’s getting worse every day now......

actually it’s an MSN sponsored april fools joke.. I just put your name into it. Scoble did one for himself and actually edited the jokes. It was quite amusing.

I’m greatly anticipating Google’s take on april fools this year... But I doubt it can top PigeonRank.

Ryan, making a joke about the quality of MSN search results isn’t the direction that I would have gone for April Fools. But okay.

Hmm, it’s better than an MSN search for Matt Cutts at least...

Seriously though, Kudos to google for saying no.. and boo to the companies who didn’t bother to fight. I especially liked the one who opposed, but tacked on “only because it’s my job”. If that’s not real fear, I don’t know what is.

I’m so glad Google didn’t bend over and take this one.

Ryan, your list is right on ... too bad more Americans don’t see it.

Maybe Dubya is upset that a search for ‘miserable failure’ returns an image of him and a link to his bio.

Cudos to Google for standing up to this unwarrented abuse of power by the US DOJ.

On a side note;
I wonder how long it will be before the DOJ starts going after Anti-Christian sites based inside the USA...

The full list of companies should cover quite a bit of ground.

I’m ambivalent about the whole debate over the Department of Justice’s subpoenaes. Sounds to me like they feel it’s due time to take out some of the trash themselves.
