measurement.com — In the q&a before the April 11th taping of The Colbert Report the discussion of Google bombing came up and Colbert told the audience he would like to be known as the "greatest living American" and asked everyone in the audience to link to him using that text. Will he be able to shakeup Google like he did with the Wikipedia?

If Colbert is great it is only marginally related to his ability to get nerds to wump internets.

Ugh, Colbert seriously needs to pull his head out of his ass. He's overly annoying, he's loud, and so the masses follow him. He's really no better than all the things he laughs at and makes fun of... although his show IS funny.

i submitted the url that is to be ranked for "greatest living american" to Digg and put those words as the anchor text, which should include a link. i don't know if it will help to have more people DIGG it - but there's only one way to find out<a class="user" href="http://www.digg.com/television/Greatest_Living_American_2">http://www.digg.com/television/Greatest_Living_American_2</a>

Cant wait to see how this pans out, Just like the green screen, publicity is a positive....however you get it. I applaud Mr. cobert for his ingenuity in using social media to promote this stuff.....
