Yahoo's Buzz Index, a meter to show the percentage of searches made on a day, shows that Howard's impact on web searches is still running strong. Citing spikes in searches for peeps like George Takei, Rachel Hunter, Adrianne Curry, Shawn King, Roy Simmons, Alexis Stewart (Martha's daughter - who had by far the biggest spike in with a buzz increase of 5,739%) and of course Bubba The Love Spong - the "Stern effect" still applies for the web.

Sorta.

One thing that I really should point out is that searches for these people aren't necessarily huge to begin with. So it's easy to throw off the Buzz Meter from that standpoint. Still, trying not to be a cynical ass, it's cool to see this kind of stuff in action.

After two years of being off the radio, Bubba the Love Spong has returned on Sirius Satellite Radio. FMQB kicks off their new featurette, eFMQB, with an in-depth interview with Bubba.

It's nice to read about exactly how Bubba and Stern settled their "differences" because that's always been a question in the eyes of many people.

From his history with Howard, to his current role on Howard 101, to Arbitron, to stripper poles; it's all explained in this interview.

A nice read.
