Google PR is freebasing the love

Unseemly. That's the word that comes to mind when viewing Memeorandum's cluster of Google Base buzz. The blogosphere just got through castigating Google last week for allowing spam to ruin Blogspot, yet today the usual suspects are like 13-year-old kids waiting for their first download of a Paris Hilton sex AVI to finish.

The real issue right about now should be what is happening at the Zeitgeist event, and why it is so secretive. If blogging-as-citizen-journalism is so good, where's the fearless leaking in the name of freedom of speech? There are 400 attendees, surely one of them can be gotten to anonymously? Anyone?

Nope, they're all busy trying to be the first to make an "all your base" joke. Wait, make that the 17th.
