The story about the changes to Yahoo's privacy policy is starting to spread.

There are a lot of upset people out there, but the message is lacking enough coherance to really grow. Blogdex lists four separate links--if they were combined, the story would be number one on the index. What's needed is a Google bomb, so that the story gains higher Net prominance, much in the way that DigitalConsumer.org is the top result in a search for CBDTPA.

Allow me to reccommend the following. If you use Yahoo at all, or if you agree that being sent more unsolicited marketing is a bad thing for Internet users, please place the following text on your webpage or in your Internet posts:

Yahoo wants to spam you.

The HTML code so that it links to the related story (and thus becomes a Gbomb) can be found here (Right-click, 'Save as', and open in a text editor, or open the link in your browser and go to "Source" under the "View" menu to find the HTML code.) Pass it on far and wide.

It's not the most powerful bomb out there (it's not trying to link the words "Yahoo" and "spam" directly, for example), but it's purpose is intended informative and unifying rather than a tactical attack.

Let's light the fuse and see if it works.
