Dear Hans,
Thanks for clearing up the confusion.
You're quite right GWEI.org is unfindable directly, only through the
sites that link to it/ talk about the project. This is really quite
interesting, and I'm confused now (probably what you are aiming
for...) about just *what* this means in terms of censorship of the
web. The censorship of the domain is disturbing, but the
*findability* of it is rather reassuring...
best,
alan

there is absolutely no Google Will Eat Itself (domain: gwei.org)
web-entry
in google. There are hundreds of references (articles, blogs,
etc..), but
the actual web-site is fully censored.
to clear it up, we are talking abou the doimain gwei.org, not about
the
topic itself...

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

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!
