Googalitarian

Posted in: Google on Dec 1
From the makin'-new-words-with-Google drawer (would those be googlogisms?) we have Googalitarian. A tentative definition:

Googalitarian - a system that confers some benefits to everyone while actively promoting the interests of a popular minority. Based on Google's tendency to 1) make even the humblest web documents more easily found (cf. egalitarian) and 2) to ensure that popular web sites remain popular by boosting them to the top of its search results.

Googalitarian currently returns no hits on Google.
