We're number two

Christian Crumlish

Dave is obsessing on Google pagerank, trying to get Google to associate his page more rankfully with the search term weblog. He also got me thinking about this thing of being the top Dave or Adam or Jeremy or Jason on Google:

Adam Curry is the number three Adam on Google today, ahead of Adam Smith, Adam Sandler, and the guy who did the deed with Eve. [Scripting News]

Try that with Christian and you'll never find me (I gave up after five pages of religion). But search for xian and Radio Free Blogistan is the second result (after Xi'an Jiaotong University).

As noted earlier, this site is (still, whatever changes to the pagerank algorithm don't seem to have affected this site much) the second result at Google for blogistan as well.
