Article about Monmouth&Google trouble plus data on ego searches

Not sure why I didnt hear about this when it went down.  But consider this:  Even if Google removes the data from its cache, there is no guarantee that anyone who ever accessed that data directly from Monmouth or Google will have.

So what can you do?  Well, first thing to do is try an 'Ego search' every few months.  Don't just use google, try some of the other sites (and make sure they arent now using Google's search engine and data) =)

Also try a Technorati or other Blog search (Icerocket perhaps)
