Tim Bray needs to set up a few search feeds:

Dave’s numbers suggest that there’s less there than meets the eye; that the numbers and reach of splogs are limited. It’s just that their automated content generation managed to cause them to fill up the ego feeds of a bunch of loudmouthed widely-read bloggers, who all screamed simultaneously.

The example I posted noted that searches for Smalltalk (as in, the programming language) got flooded. I would have to assume that Java searches were flooded the same way (or worse, given the larger number of potential readers). No, we aren't all interested only in ego searches. Some of us just want to see what's being said on topics of interest.
