After just over two years, Google has finally defused the “Google Bomb” that has returned US President George W. Bush at the top of its results in a search on miserable failure. The move wasn’t a post-State Of The Union Address gift for Bush. Instead, it’s part of an overall algorithm change designed to stop such mass link pranks from working.

Via Boing Boing.

Of course, the Google bomb was so widely reported that a search for “miserable failure” does still bring you mostly Bush-related links. Which I find amusing.
