What in hell is wrong with people?
And, because we are pretty sure we never use "sewerology," what in hell is wrong with Google?
Infytune: Crazy, Gnarls Barkley

1, 2, 10, & 12 sound about right.
It's the newest passive-aggro technique of sending an InfyMessage- instead of emailing a tip, do a Google query that points to the blog, just to see if Infy's discovered the story yet. Because in the end, Infy gets the story.
For instance, suppose you believe something like "Acme relocating to Cleveland", or "Mr. XYZ is a _______". For instance, "Ralph is a furry"(nttawwt). And you wonder, does Infy know about this?
So you Google, "pittsburgh infinonymous Ralph is a Furry" and click on one of the resulting links. Nothing there yet. Maybe you do that four or five times a day.
Maybe a couple of other people are also wondering when Infy will find out about FurryGate, and they also start checking Google with their own variations: "pittsburgh infinonymous Ralph animal costumes"
When the Industrious InfyStaff checks the server records, they'll see that different people came in with those search strings and they'll wonder if there's anything going on. They do a Google check and find that Ralph never appears in any photos with the Furries; maybe it's the Superman-Clark-Kent thing?
This is how Google recognizes flu epidemics before the medics do. One person's query is whack. Ten people asking about the same thing means the "crowd wonders". And sometimes, smoke > fire > furry.
So the real question is, what's the chaff/noise and what's the wheat/signal, and what are the common themes presented in the search strings? Is there a pattern among the dots?
Van--I wish I could understand you sometimes.
We customarily prefer to avoid discussion of methods and sources.
Anybody else notice the love-fest between Infynonymous and non-anonymous Post Gazette blogger Chad Herman lately? How about the fact that both of them used the word uncannily (kinda an uncommon word wouldn't ya think) talking about Mayor Luke and the flooding??
Just sayin'
Hey, Selena, who's this Chad guy?
Connie: I don't know, but I'm definitely going to look into it. That "uncannily" thing is awful fishy.
Selena
Van, fascinating. I have to admit, that's new to me. I guess I'm just not that devious. But it does open possibilities, doesn't it...
I'm going to do a Google search for Connie, Selena and Infinonymous (might as well throw in Lynette), just to see what comes up.
Can't we leave poor Natalie Gulbis alone?
Poor Natalie. She let Ben get away . . . and all the trappings. Big church wedding. Life together in Christ. Adoring fans throughout the city. Every luxury money could buy. Luxury box, home and away. A private police force. Late-night calls from outraged fathers of college girls. The occasional inquiry from law enforcement investigators . . .
