I seem to be incapable of finding any google search results before 10th of January 2008 featuring the phrase "Died in a blogging accident" that is not relevant to this XKCD comic. Weird.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.208.177|108.162.208.177]] 17:51, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

		+	:You mean the bit that is <code>"Died in a blogging accident" was very rare in Google until this comic appeared.</code>? Links to Observer Effect (in a disambiguation-like list). I don't think it's the best (direct) link, but clearly supposed to be saying that now that people were aware of the possibility of "died in a blogging accident", there are now many more mentions of it than there were prior to publication.
		+	:I'm sure we could find a more appropriate wikilink. Something like the {{w\|Streisand effect}}, but without the reversal-of-intent element to it, just straight and sudden cascading positive-reinforcement. (There must be some effect that means that, right?) [[Special:Contributions/172.69.194.14\|172.69.194.14]] 02:59, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

		+	When I attempted to find the two results for blogging accidents, I didn't use the date query feature, and instead narrowed it down by deleting search terms that came up that were usually signs of being influenced by the xkcd comic. However, with this search query:
		+	"died in a blogging accident" -xkcd -randall -instagram -chexquest -knitting
