You think he's using the same internet as the rest of us? They probably got special proxies or extra encrypted stuff.....who knows, he's probably browsing a made up google for himself. Yes, googling faliure brings George to Bill Clinton's homepage. yeah, and when he google's iraq he probably gets these results. You guys are doing one heck of a job with these "the google" links. Not to complain, but I did see this on Digg yesterday. I have occassionally found myself thinking of clipping pages I discovered via Digg, but haven't because I didn't want CM to be an echo-chamber. What is the community's view on re-posting links found through other social bookmarking sites? It there an etiquette? Like say adding a tag for or link to the original source. good question teajay. i guess i think it's ok to clip from stories found through digg. it's certainly a great/popular source of news for many people. that said, i also totally agree that clipmarks should not become an echo-chamber as you refer to it. these days, it seems that there are a lot of "me too" web sites out there where the content is fairly similar. at clipmarks, even if it's the same story, i think that you usually get a unique take on it because of the brevity of the clip. and the tone that's been set here seems to result in a blend of clips that are from top stories around the web along with totally unique bits of info-goodies that work here but really wouldn't work anyw... I think it is all fine. As far as I'm concerned, I only clip from other known sites if I have something to say on the clip (and they have not been clipped here already). I guess it all depends on where you want to speak up and share your views. First of all, why would Bush need "The Google" for maps? It's not as if he drives himself anywhere. to find out where Iraq is. wow, starting to get them low blows in there goldstein. just kidding...it's like it was thrown out there and i just couldn't resist. To really find out where Iraq is you need a map and a time machine. what an idiot Google Maps: So easy, even Bush can use it! This kinda stuff is why there are so few Bush jokes out there able to be made (if it's true, it isnt a joke o.o; ) Bless him! He's such an eejit! better watch out....he might end up calling Clipmarks "The Clipmarks".....  If Bush ever comes to Clipmarks, I'll be leaving that very second! *thinking* WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Godfrey calls it 'The Clip' which isn't far off. GD, are you George Bush?!?!?!!!! I imagine Curious George using the The Google to find some good old Texas Trailer Park Trash... what an idiotcouldn't agree more. Not to complain, but I did see this on Digg yesterday. I have occassionally found myself thinking of clipping pages I discovered via Digg, but haven't because I didn't want CM to be an echo-chamber.SohilioSearch has helped (that word doesn't really do justice to the assistance provided) me find this thread - I read this at the time, didn't pop or comment and was unable to find it again.
