What a terribly chosen name. I wonder what the Scroogle guy has to say about this.

It's also the name of a great short story by Cory Doctorow (link below). Bit of a ripoff by MS on the title. http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-09-17-n72.html

I'm trying to figure out whether it was intended as Scrooge-google for the holiday season or screw-google...

I'm guessing "screw-google", as I always assumed scroogle.org meant, though now that I think about it perhaps Scroogle is "scrape-google"?
