Dem Bloggers Ready 'Google Bomb' Campaign
Dem bloggersって何だ？と思いきや。
これまた政治ネタだった。
Dem bloggersとはDemocratic-leaning bloggersのこと。
A GOOGLE SEARCH ON THE name "George Allen"--a Republican U.S. Senator from Virginia running to retain his seat--now returns his official Senate page as the top organic result. But if some bloggers have their way, the top result will instead be "New 'N Word' Woe For George Allen," a CBS News article from September, highlighting the Senator's alleged use of a racial slur.
なるほど。実際に過去、BushやCarterの名前で"miserable failure,"John Kerryで"Waffles"のようなGoogle bombが行われていたらしい。
A coalition of Democratic-leaning bloggers are planning an en masse search engine optimization campaign, in the form of "Google bombs," in hopes of highlighting negative stories about GOP candidates. The bloggers plan to manipulate the search engine's results via blog posts that link the candidates' names to unflattering articles.
Past political Google bombs have included linking the biography pages for President George W. Bush and former President Jimmy Carter to the phrase "miserable failure," and the John Kerry senatorial Web site to the word "Waffles" during the 2004 Presidential campaigns.
This election cycle's Google bombing is being masterminded by Chris Bowers, author of the popular liberal blog MyDD.com. On Tuesday, Bowers posted the code for 52 links to news articles and Wikipedia entries detailing scandals that Republican candidates and incumbents for the Senate and House have been involved in. Bowers on Tuesday asked that blog authors post the links in their own blogs with the candidate's name as the link text--thus creating inbound links on those articles, and driving up the page rank for those pages and raising them in Google's natural search results.
更に更に。。。
On Wednesday night, Bowers advised blog authors to add the new "bombing" links to their blog templates, which would retroactively add them to every post they have ever made, creating still more inbound links to the negative articles.
Bowers also is planning a paid search campaign to complement the Google bombing, but declined to discuss the details of the keyword buy. On his blog, Bowers stated: "I don't want to tip off right-wingers."

MySpace, Facebook Lose Traffic, Users
The Wall Street Journal (subscription required)
MySpace と Facebookが共に９月のトラフィックが落ちたらしい（Nielsen//NetRatings調べ）
MySpaceのユニークビジターは4%落ちて47.2 million。８月は49.2 millionだった。
一方Facebookはもっと落ちていて8.9 millionから7.8 million（12%）
But there is a spam problem on MySpace that's beginning to annoy some users. Some advertisers are taking advantage of the "friend request" function to send out automated, mass unsolicited notices to users. Many of these friend solicitations bring users to porn sites looking to add new members. Several users have killed their profiles in response. On Facebook, some users are defecting because the site decided to open its doors to anyone
学校に戻ったので夏休み中に比べて落ちたのではとか
広告がスパムになってきているからではないか等
色々原因は推察されているがふと。
ちょっと前に日本で出ていた下記記事を思い出した。
「正直、mixiに疲れました」——mixiでたくさんのマイミクと交流している人が、「疲れた」と言って突然mixiを辞めてしまうことがある。なぜだろうか。
＜中略＞
マイミク登録・承認することにより、「私はこの人とマイミク（＝友人）なのだから、友人らしい振る舞いをしなくては」と意識するためだ。
mixi上では、あしあとを付けたり、日記にコメントすることが友人らしいふるまいとなる。少数のマイミクだけと付き合っている間は問題ないが、見知らぬ人や1度きりしか会ったことがない人など「にわか友達」をマイミクに加え始め、全員のページにあしあとやコメントを付ける——という作業を繰り返していると、だんだん無理が出てくる。
見知らぬ多数のマイミクと親しく振る舞おうとする努力は、飲食店店員の笑顔のようなものという。当初は、少ない客に対して心からの笑顔を見せていた店員も、客が増えて忙しくなるにつれ、笑顔が義務化し、笑顔を作ることに疲れ、ストレスをためてしまう。関係が薄いマイミクにあしあとを付け、コメントを付けては疲れるという“mixi疲れ”の症状も同じ構造だ。
。。。なにごとも、ほどほどが一番。
そういえば、Warcraftで燃え尽きてしまった人もいたなあ。。。

昨日「YouTubeの政治的利用」という記事を書いたばかりだがますます沸騰中。
現在テクノラティの動画ランキングの一位は昨日紹介した「Michael J. Fox」で、
それに対して反論している「Response Ad to Michael J. Fox」が５位で
同じく反論系のこちらの「Michael J. Embryo」が8位。
今の２位はこちらで、ブッシュ批判。
4位がこちら、「Harold Ford Jr not for Tennessee」等、Harold Fordに関する映像がトップ30に３本ランクイン。

実名のブログは見られていると思った方がいいだろう。
匿名だったとしてもわかるものはわかる。
*****************************************************
東京のIT企業に勤めるある人事担当者（27）は、実際にネットを採用活動に使っていると話す。
一例として挙げたのが、就職活動に関連した情報を掲載するコミュニティーサイト「みんなの就職活動日記」（みん就）だ。学生同士が情報を共有するためのサイトだが、企業としてもどんなことが書かれているか目を光らせている。その中で、どの学生がどの書き込みをしたか、特定できる場合もあるようだ。
「面接を受けに来た後、すぐ“みん就”に書き込む学生がいる。そういう子は『ああ、あの子だな』と分かる」
*****************************************************
一方、こういう意見もある。
*****************************************************
はてなの近藤淳也社長は、2005年12月のブログで「志望者のブログの面白さ」と「採用確率」が比例することに言及している。同氏によれば、ブログの中には「はてなへの入社を目的とした内容だけでなく、本当の自分の姿、興味、性格などがより出ている」という。
*****************************************************
お互いにうまく活用できればね。

TV fans are already having their say and influencing program content. When Allan Heinberg joined the writing team of ABC's hit series "Grey's Anatomy" this season, he began contributing to the blog "Grey Matter," posting this missive before his first episode: "So, here's the thing: You people terrify me. You're passionate, you're insightful, you're bravely outspoken. You know 'Grey's Anatomy' better than anyone, except maybe Shonda Rhimes [the creator]. And I don't know if you realize this, but the way you write about the show, debate it, love and/or hate it carries an enormous amount of weight in the writers' room." The October post has since attracted 1,200 comments; many praised the episode and welcomed him to the show.
CW was the first broadcast network to create a presence on MySpace, according to a spokeswoman for Fox Interactive Media
So far, the CW has accumulated 27,000 friends on MySpace
"We had so many entries that it actually crashed the site once," said Bob Cook, president of Twentieth Television. My Network TV characters also blog about their lives, and the network is in the midst of a nationwide casting call that is helping increase traffic.
"The web is a wonderful platform to allow you to reach deeper in terms of information, and if you don't do it, you run the risk of losing control," said Olivier Gers, a general manager at FremantleMedia, which produces Fox's "American Idol." More importantly, the audience expects programs to have multiple lives. Mr. Gers said the "American Idol" blogs are revenue generators.
Of all the community-building efforts, Bravo's "Project Runway" has been one of the most successful. It began in December 2004 when the cable net created a blog and podcast for Tim Gunn, an adviser on the show. Now there are more than 10 blogs and podcasts on the show's site, from show producers, designers and former contestants. NBC Universal, of which Bravo is a part, also houses social-networking initiatives at its newly acquired iVillage website.
Bravo determines which "Runway" personalities to enlist for blogging by
keeping close watch on which designers get the most web clicks and
appear to have the highest interest on message boards. And the phrase
"You've been auf'd," a play on host Heidi Klum's signature parting of
auf Wiedersehen, was coined on a message board before Bravo co-opted it
for its own marketing materials.
面白い。Way to go.
