    I’ve never had any problems with the blogsearch, until now. The blogsearch really has some weird results. Also in the Netherlands.

    But hey, it’s a beta application :)

    Perhaps somebody out there considers this blog to be a marketing earthquake.

    (Not sure who…)

    So that must be why today Google returns this USGS Baja earthquake report

    as a blogsearch result for my name… ???

    This is a computer-generated message — this event has not yet been reviewed by a seismologist. Did you feel it? Report shaking and damage at your location. You can also view a map displaying accumulated data from your report and others.
