About This Item

Google Bug really wants a high PageRank at Google. Help him by finding him, moving him, and talking about him on the World Wide Web! Just mention him in your favorite weblog ('blog), discussion site, etc., and link back to his page. Other than this request, he can travel wherever geocaching takes him.

I never liked the term "blog" as it sounds like "blob". I don't weblog, but I do know a Geocacher who works at Yahoo! who does. Should I let him grab this TB? Interesting dilemma. 😉

This TB has been around before the current excitement over Google Maps and Google Earth.

Grabbed; although the mission is confusing. Mention like on a Yahoo group kinda thing? Oh wait, Yahoo, to Google that is like Ford is to Chevy, Or BMW to Mercedes Benz, or what ever.
