Here’s a sad one: the Google Maps car took out a baby deer, and it recorded the entire process for all Google Maps users to see. For shame, Google Maps car!

As you follow the street view scene down Five Points Road in Rush, NY, you can see the deer run out in front of the car, get hit and then see it on the side of the road before the car pulls over. And that’s the end of the Street View data for Five Points Road.

My question is, they know this happened so why in the hell would they leave the pictures on Street View???

Update: As Leah mentioned the audio is a bit low, but Merlin speaks a bit louder than the man who introduces him so don’t let that stop you from catching this great presentation…

Patricia, you’re about 3 years late to the party, and you didn’t even bring a gift. It’s called Google bombing or link bombing, and it’s nothing new. And I love how you title it ‘Google geeks drop a bomb on Mr. Bush’, as if the people at Google are up to it. And ‘Let others know before Google fixes it’ as if it’s something that’s broken or new. I guess what I like most about you Patricia is how fresh your content is, I can’t beleive you get paid to do your job. Who bothered to hire you, and why? I also find it fascinating that they’ve closed the comments on the article. Buy a clue Patricia Best you silly technonoob.

You are like the ubiquitous 70 year old grandmother who just got WebTV. God bless her kind but if I get another forwarded e-mail about how Microsoft and AOL’s new e-mail tracking program will make me rich if I forward it to 42348202 people, and it must be true because “it was on GOOD MORNING AMERICA” and because the message is from someone’s “good friend” and “she really is an attorney”, I’m going to never open my inbox again… Ok, not really but the last thing this world needs is a “tech” writer with that same mentality.

Hehe, by all means, if you have a blog please link to:

Hehe, give her a little taste of link bombing.

Some famous Google bombs:

Of course there is failure – which returns George W. Bush’s Biography (#1) and Michael Moore’s failure of a Home Page (#3). >:)

Google Bomb of Liar – Should return Tony Blair’s Biography

If you search for Scientology should link to Operation Clam Bake, but that goes up and down as the Church of Scientology tries to combat the link bomb’s effectiveness, it’s currently #2 just below Scientology.org.

Other mentions of how Patricia Best is woefully out of touch:

Traffick has also reported that Patricia Best is woefully out of touch. I’m not sure if their link is to get some link bombing action going but I’d figure I’d help out a bit. Haha, actually she shows up as #3 already, wow and only after 1 day.

Of course, it’s worth mentioning that he doesn’t follow his own advice in the 3rd method “Where possible, make sure your urls contain your keywords” as his post slug is just an ID number instead of a key word.

I’ve been on the first page of Google a couple of times by mere accident. As it turns out, the times it happened were because I just happened to do everything he said, without knowing it of course.
