The technical name for it is a ‘domain switch’ and what it means is overnight we will simply change, (for the purposes of Google, Yahoo and MSN searches and their counting system), so [...]

by Sharon Kyle
Sarah Palin draws the media like a magnet. Whether we like it or not, judging from the amount of press she got this week, it appears she’ll remain on the national scene for as long as America and the rest of the world continue to tune in or click, searching for “Sarah Palin”-related [...]

In a stunning deregulation reversal, President Bush in a one-minute statement before retreating back into his sealed White House bunker, called for the creation of a massive $700 billion dollar toxic mortgage bailout RTC-like organisation to allow ‘business as usual’ for his Wall Street, white tie base.

Which is the real headline?
TNS rejected WPP’s £1 billion pound buyout offer. What’s astounding is if one Googles TNS and WPP, there are 11-story links from: Reuters, The Telegraph, The Independent, The Times, MSN, E-Financial news, Yahoo! and Tiscali on the first search page.
