WordPress' Matt Banned from Google

Matt Mullenweg, one of the creators of WordPress, has found himself removed from Google. This is the guy that was able to hand out a business card that said:

"Go to Google.com Type in Matt Click I'm Feeling Lucky"

Now, if you do that, you are brought to the Druge Report.

Something really weird happened when I had the password problem last week — I completely disappeared from Google. It’s not just the search for Matt, but almost every page on my site has disappeared even for super-obvious searches. This happened within a day of the guy getting into my blog account.

He thinks he knows what happened, and is hoping Google indexes him again soon, but it is amazing how fast things can shift on you, especially when it comes to Google.

Update: Everything is back to normal for Matt. Lucky him.
