I admit it, I enjoy reading xkcd. Furthermore, I admit that I frequently find myself relating to its comics.  But this one deserves special mention, I think.  So, after reading it, I decided, apparently like many, to check google for the phrase “died in a blogging accident”.  Only, instead of finding only 2 hits, I was met with over 8,000!  Further investigation found that the comic, released only yesterday, has caused quite a surge of activity in Google, linking many pages to that precise phrase (this is, in essence, what a googlebomb is, for those that aren’t aware).

This picture shows the google trends for the phrase within the last 24 hours or so (that’s my own screenshot), and of course, slashdot had to have it’s own article about it too. So naturally, I had to make my own small contribution, which is why I’m here today to report the news

Peace
