In her non-concession speech, Hillary asks for input - but is it just to stall? Or a fundraising ploy? And did Peter Daou warn her about what Chris "Google Bomb" Bowers can do with an open invite like that?

PLUS: Did Hillary have her event 50 feeut underground to duck Obama's cellphone call???

The Web on the Candidates

Under pressure from the Moveon and netroots bloggers, including dailykos' Markos Moulitsas ZĂșniga and myDD's Matt Stoller, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pulled a planned Democratic debate from Fox News, Ryan Grim from the Politico reports. Grim writes that although Democratic leaders have publicly blamed comments from Fox President in which he jokingly confused Barack Obama and Osama Bin Laden, Reid made the decision after a conference call with netroots bloggers, including ZĂșniga and Stoller.

Google bombing is so last year, says PromotionWorld. Google has updated its search engine to make it less open to Google bombing campaigns, such as the one that brought up the White House home page when searching for "miserable failure." Instead of Google bombing, the war for web optimization will be fought using search engine rankings, Google PageRank inbound links, MySpace, and Alexa rankings.
