I’m a bit out of reach these days, but I wanted to point out Sasha’s excellent work at Left in SF on the San Francisco municipal wireless debate. Check out all of his posts here and his wrapup of the debate here. There’s going to be a hearing on the program this afternoon, and I’ve heard Sasha will be involved. I know Google and Earthlink are fighting to preserve the sweetheart deal, but we need to do what’s best for The City, and whether that’s municipal wifi or GoogleFi, the residents of SF should come first.  Let’s just make sure we get  this right.

So, if you’re in SF, thank Sasha for doing such a great job for us on this issue.

Google announced today that it has implemented new algorithms to stop the practice of “Googlebombing” — the practice of manipulating links to move certain webpages toward the top of search results.  This has been a tactic of the Netroots in the past, and recently Chris Bowers called for a “Googlebomb” to make negative stories about John McCain appear higher in Google search results.
