Mettadatta fer dumbies

From TechPresident:

Barek Maccane for Prezidunt: Here’s a bit of silliness. Like any other perfectly normal person, I happened to be skimming the source code for JohnMcCain.com early this morning. There, I discovered the variants on the candidate’s name that programmers helpfully included in the site’s keyword meta tags in a bid to draw in sloppy spelling searchers: “John McKaine, John MacCane, Jon McCain,” and “John MacCaine.” Team Obama is also prepared for fat-fingered Googlers, with meta tags for “Barack, Barck,” and “Barek.” Thankes. Veree helpfil.
