Domain Name for Sale
I notice that www.bloggerinpajamas.com is listed for sale on eBay.
Poor Jonathan Klein. He never knew what hit him, even as he pulled the pin and sat on the grenade.
Update: Julie Neidlinger is putting herself out for hire for those MSM outlets who are thus far behind the curve in coming up with "authentic" historical documents with which to skewer the candidate(s) of their choosing. I think she's onto something.
Update #2: It's a bull market for document forgery services. Wallace over at Streams has thrown his (fake) hat into the (made-up) ring.
Perhaps you searched "Gaggle". Google turns up quite a few more than 0. Assuming one is not a strict interpretationalist.
"Results 1 - 10 of about 8,620 for blogger in pajamas. (0.43 seconds) "
Posted by: Wallace-Midland, Texas at September 14, 2004 09:39 PMIt's in the buyer's best interest to be a "strict interpretationalist". What's the difference between "Google" and "Gaggle", Wallace? Just a couple of letters.
...and a great deal more, as well.
Google turns up 8,620 hits for the following search parameter:
blogger in pajamas
Google turns up zero hits for:
"blogger in pajamas"
Please notice the difference between the two searches.
The first search, the one you ran (the phrase without the surrounding quotes) returns results with "all of the words". That's probably why "blogger in pajamas", that exact phrase, doesn't even show up on the first page of the 8,620 hits Google returns. I didn't see the exact phrase listed on the second, third, fourth, or fifth pages either.
The second search, the one I ran (the phrase with the surrounding quotes) returns results with "the exact phrase". As in, "the exact phrase" the eBay seller is promoting.
...the one they claimed "is a fast-growing phrase on the internet. No doubt the saying is here to say."
What I said didn't need to be corrected. The phrase being sold as a domain name, "blogger in pajamas", doesn't show up on a single page found by Google.

Nice to see another cyber-squatter with a get rich quick scam.
From eBay Item Number 5720393322:
"The catchphrase 'blogger in pajamas' is a fast-growing phrase on the internet. No doubt the saying is here to say."
From a Google search "blogger in pajamas":
Your search - "blogger in pajamas" - did not match any documents.
Apparently the phrase is so "fast-growing" former CBS Producer Jonathan Klein's original remark isn't listed anywhere, either.
There's a term for this sort of disreputable promotion: puffing.
n. the exaggeration of the good points of a product, a business, real property and the prospects for future rise in value, profits and growth. Since a certain amount of "puffing" can be expected of any salesman, it cannot be the basis of a lawsuit for fraud or breach of contract unless the exaggeration exceeds the reality (emphasis, mine). However, if the puffery includes outright lies or has no basis in fact (emphasis, mine again) ("Sears Roebuck is building next door to your store site") a legal action for rescission of the contract or for fraud against the seller is possible.
Posted by: Mr. Freen at September 14, 2004 04:31 PMI wouldn't want to defend a client who alleged that "blogger in pajamas" is a 'fast-growing' phrase on the internet when one of the largest and most respected internet search engines can't find a single page with that phrase on it.
