Google itself has made you relevant by giving you a decent Page Rank (PR). So when you headline a name, it gets strong placement. If those syndicating your feed link to it by the name of the subject or person interviewed, your placement sticks. If Corante or any other blog with PR6 or higher interviews Gladwell or Barnett, they will trump your current well-deserved position. Google's algo gets tweaked occasionally and its database dances once every six weeks but results you're getting reward the community who look for relevance. And you're relevant--at least to the Googlebot. You’re getting placement because your content is relevant, syndicated and fresh.

yes also plus if I use google.de (which both normally differs from results from the us, because google tries to ‘think’) And yes, of course it is deserved by you ;)

It just slips the desktop results into the HTML when the page gets loaded - the actual results from Google stay as they are, you just get a section at the top telling you if there's any local results too.

This probably has something to do with the number of bloggers who link to IT Conversations, but that's not to say that the rankings aren't deserved! Cheers Mike Doug, I see the same results.

In fact, for Malcolm Gladwell, not only is IT Conversations the second result, but the third is a BoingBoing post pointing to IT Conversations. Doug, I’m seeing the same results as you are.
