The Blog That First Broke The Google Valentine 'Hoax' Logo

This story was first reported on my other blog (http://www.monkeytypesthebible.com - named after a Stephen Colbert episode) at 7:23am on Valentine's Day. What happened to the "L"?

MTB was the first on the Internet to break the gooey story early Wednesday morning about the strange Google Valentine's Day logo on their homepage. See Wikipedia's Google Hoaxes page and looked for the "Google's Valentine Massacre" link.

In the hours that ensued following my posting, and my website traffic soared, blogs and news sites all over the world began reporting the 'messy logo' story. My weblogs can actually support my claim because I can see who the visitors were and then look on their website to see their version of the story, or a link to mine.

When I conducted a search two hours later on 'google valentine logo' my blog was the third listing on the Google results page.

When I searched on the same keywords today, all the other "big" sites had knocked my blog out of the results. Is that fair?

My story still shows up on the first page of Google search results for 'googe google logo' but not many people are searching on that term.

Google should list in their search results ranked on the "time" a blog stamps a story. Isn't that only fair?
