It is surprising and somewhat ironic to me that these guys have a pagerank of 5. I mean, for this to work they'd require legitimate websites that generate significant ad revenue, that they could afford to keep pouring in Google stock (instead of, say, buying a Maserati). A WHOIS shows the owner as a guy called Hans Bernhard at ubermorgen.com. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubermorgen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubermorgen Apparently gwei is supposed to be "conceptual art" project, which explains why so many legitimate sites link to it. If you look around it's been mentioned in Daring Fireball and other legitimate sites as an interesting "conceptual hack". Probably it's Hans Bernhard's other projects that serve as the "hidden Web-Sites" that power gwei. Either that, or the five hundred Gs is just a number fabricated by a webmaster who insists on using obnoxious flashing backgrounds. Either way, I doubt gwei was supposed to be a project seriously bent on taking over Google. It's just modern art!
