I've noticed an odd phenomena. When searching Google I consistently see results from projects I'm involved in, people I know, and of course, myself.

Kellan raises some very interesting points in that post... esp if you take the 'similarity search' idea to the extremes....

evhead says:

Most of the people who I've heard, anectdotely, say that they think blogs sometimes get undue ranking, mention coming across their own blog for searches. They don't necessarily complain about about coming across other blogs. Could that in part be because: a) They're using phrases to search that are natural to them (and, therefore, the words they use to write) but that aren't quite as likely to be used by others as they might think? b) They're not going to learn anything from their own blog, so they consider that result useless, while another blog's contents they may find valuable?
