Someday, Javascript will be allowed on Posterous, and when it does, the button below will actually do something. Until then, it's just a pretty, blank button. Use the retaggr and Google Profile links above in the interim to access my other stuff online.

This is interesting and disturbing. An excerpt from the Ars article...

"One way that hackers are infiltrating the Web is by "SEO poisoning," or using SEO techniques to pump up the ranking of malicious websites in search results to make them appear legitimate. On average, 14 percent of top search results for a given "hot" topic on Google led to a malicious website."
