Dear Hans, Geert, etc,
I'm afraid to tell you you're wrong. I just searched Google Will Eat
Itself on Google and it's there as the first hit- as well as pages of
blog entries etc etc.
What do you mean by it being 'censored' and how do you account for
GWEI's availability on Google?

Call for Support: Link to Google Will Eat Itself

Google Will Eat Itself ( http://www.gwei.org ) announced that is
now fully censored on all Google Search-Indexes worldwide. What a
scandal!
The idea behind GWEI is simple:
Google Will Eat Itself generates money by serving Google text
advertisments on a network of hidden Websites. With this money GWEI
automatically buy Google shares. GWEI buys Google via their own
advertisment. Google eats itself - but in the end "we" own it. By
establishing this autocannibalistic model we deconstruct the new
global advertisment mechanisms by rendering them into a surreal
click-based economic model. After this process GWEI hands over the
common ownership of "our" Google Shares to the GTTP Ltd. [Google To
The People Public Company] which distributes them back to the users
(clickers) / public.
Let's break the silence and put a link to this project on our sites
and blogs: http://www.gwei.org. Give Google back to people! GWEI is
an interesting case how to imagine a new global public sphere. How
to reverse privatization and rethink a truely public Internet
without the Googles and Yahoos.
Thanks for your support!
