PowerLuddite

Rew writes about the same flap I did last week, where Vox Day beat Jeff Fecke like a baby seal (or as the AV Club kids are saying these days, “pwn3d” him, whatever the ph{}ck that means).
She’s found the bit that bugs her about Vox:
Its that he is an obsessive compulsive googler.
I thought it might be true when he quickly found my post about him last month. His response to Fecke yesterday just proved it.
Good to see George Soros’ money all that non-Soros-connected, utterly clean money, yepper, you betcha is paying for such technically-savvy, resourceful bloggers (I kid, I kid. Rew is a fine human being).
Rew: It’s called Technorati. You can find out who’s writing about Vox, or me, or even you. It’s how dolts like “Jesus General” find that people have been writing about them, so they can dispatch their hordes of drooling anonytards to pollute your comment section without having to survey every blog on the ‘net.
Technology; now, it does your vanity-googling FOR you.

I dunno. Seems to me that it’s neither better nor worse than Google’s blog search function. (My own problem with both is that there’s no real good way I’ve found to filter out results for Joel C. Rosenberg, who I’m very definitely not.)
