Guccifer 2.0 Google Search Result Weirdnesses
How is it possible that a few posts scattered here at Mostly Harmless and on some of my other blogs last night led to their being more easily findable on google than anything Studio Dongo has posted on Guccifer 2.0 over the last several weeks? Anyone who understands google search algorithms better than me, please feel free to respond!

This Is about Guccifer 2.0, not Golf
Quick questions to my remaining readers:
Just to be clear, I had not been aware of or following the story until one of my best friends started blogging about it in mid-June. As he's been writing about his experiences going down that particular rabbit hole, I've started looking for other sources. Not very hard, to be sure. And I know that I've been on leave from blogging for awhile, but what ever happened to google's blog search? Back in the bad old days, I was at least able to find a wide range of voices on almost any topic, no matter how obscure. But when I search "Guccifer 2.0" on google, I get nothing interesting or new. If I didn't know about posts like this, I would never be able to find them.
There's got to be more out there, right? Are you there, google? It's me, The Constructivist.
This will have been a test of the google search system. This will have been only a test.
- are you aware of the Guccifer 2.0 story?
- have you been trying to follow it?
- have you been able to find any good sources on it through google searches?
