Followup on I-40 accident

9:25 PM The previous entry has not been indexed yet. We're past the accident scene, but aside from a badly damaged truck, which was turned around and facing the wrong way, and another truck which was missing a cab, it was impossible to tell much about what had happened. The accident occurred east of exit 202 on I-40, about 4:30 this afternoon. We were effectively parked about 5 miles from the accident from 5 PM to about 9 PM.

As of 10:08 PM, the previous entry *still* has not been indexed...

It's now 3:21 AM, and this second post was indexed some time ago (around 11 PM), but the first post still hasn't been. I'm going to put the keyword in here (i40accident123) and see if it is picked up by google.

I'll keep editing this post until I figure out what's going on. In the meantime, I'll also look for news items about the accident on Interstate 40.

Possible Futures

This is my first blog entry. It is happening because we're stuck in traffic in Arkansas, just across the border on I-40, heading for Texas. I have internet access, which means that I should be able to find out more about the accident that is slowing us down using the web, but I can't locate any news, pictures, blogs, or anything else relating to the accident, which happened over 5 hours ago, by my best estimate. The truckers know more about it than we techies, because they, at least, have CB radios.

So, I'm curious. Why is it that no news media has been googled, why has no cell phone conversation led to a blog post about the accident? We stood stock still for almost 4 hours, hundreds of us, and the internet was no help at all in figuring out what was going on. Hence, this post.

Now, I want to put a character string in this blog, just to see how long google takes to index it. i40accident123. I'm going to post this now. If anyone has any ideas on how to get information out onto the web more effectively, let's discuss that.
