The web search for Ismail Ax
Once the Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday that shooter Sueng-Hui Cho died with the words "Ismail Ax" written in red ink on his arm, it sparked a blogging and web search frenzy to find out what it meant.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the blogosphere was filled with postings about what the words might mean. Technorati.com, a web site that tracks the blogosphere, said that by late afternoon Tuesday, there were nearly 300 blog posts regarding Ismail Ax.
Sadly, after events like this one, some people do things that appear grotesque. The Morning Herald also reports that a TV repair shop owner in Corpus Christi, Texas, registered the domain name http://www.ismailax.com the morning after the shootings.
