Which name is better, blogfish or shesafish? (shes a fish)

voter blogfish shesafish fishtales comments
Scott   x   "blogfish sounds like you are throwing up"
Ed   x   "shesafish is better, but it sounds like a seafood entree"
C and C x     "I like Blogfish, but then I liked Blunt Force Trauma too!"
Sanjay     x "fishtales is probably taken" - Sadly, it is.
Piso       "How about blong? It's kind of a combination of web, log and long. Once the term catches on in a few months, you will say, blong and people will think "a long web log." Plus, it also has the bong connotation as well."

Russell is all a twitter about the monthly Google Dance (the time when Google updates its index and page rankings). Oliver points him to a Google Dance FAQ...

...Bob DuCharme finds a handy list of Google request parameters. He doesn't stop there - he throws it into some javascript and bakes up a bi-directional linking hack which "triggers a Google search for pages that link to the page with that link". (He had me at the parameter list). via [More Like This WebLog]

...Dave of seizethedave gets word that the anticipated O'Reilly reference, Google Hacks is in stores now!! Written by Tara "ResearchBuzz" Calashain and Rael "Blosxom" Dornfest, the book "contains 100 tips, tricks and scripts that you can use to become instantly more effective in your research". via [Boing Boing Blog]

...Dave (as in Winer) participates in Pete Prodoehl's Google-Free Friday movement. You can join too, alternatives include: AlltheWeb, Teoma, and AltaVista. Pete suggested Yahoo!, but isn't yahoo's search powered by google? I thought is was, I could be wrong.

...Finally, megnut informs us that her mom has been properly credited for the Google cooking hack, contrary to Meg's previous suspicions (the post is originally titled "Google ripoffs"). Judy shared her technique for cooking with Google in a post from September 2002. Judy also gets a formal apology from the researchbuzz website.

Speaking of Google hacks, hack #13, #47, #51 and #63 are available online.
