When does Google become responsible for their actions? The arguement always comes up "Google is a FREE search engine. They care about their users, not webmasters using them. They owe nothing to the webmasters."
I think it's extremely careless for Google to hold no responsibilty for screwing things up for Internet businesses. Google, a company I had loved for years, is beginning to show signs of that 'cocky geeky arrogance'. Not familiar with what geeky arrogance is? Go read their blog. Almost every post has some lame joke that no one laughs at, its just "HEHE WE'RE GOOGLE, LAUGH WITH US".
I'm going off topic with these jokes, but here are some examples...
"Some Cardinals fans also enjoyed the hands - but none of those photos are suitable for posting (the hands we provided all started out with five fingers, I swear)."
"So I got involved with the 'fusion' initiative by joining the team working on a personalized homepage. We launched today, so now I can return the Python books I bought my lazy friends. Check it out and tell us what else you want to see. We just might code it up." - Just STFU, thx.
Ok, the joke thing is completely off topic. We all know the Google blog was never going to talk about anything useful.
Extreme fluctuations in search engine rankings. Is this appropriate? How could an extreme fluctuation be correct? Everyone uses Google right? I haven't been reading any news stories of "Jane Doe Google User" searching on "father's day gifts" and getting porn instead? Whats the emergency that requires Google to do these massive fluctuations in their rankings. In Google we trust right? Well ever since their toolbar broke (its still broken) with no announcement, gMail was hacked, and update after update of extreme ranking changings, I have lost my absolute trust in Google.
Oh ya, there is one news story. Icebane Doe searched on the term motorcycle the other day, and found BUYDOMAINS.COM!! at #8 on Google. Of all companies, BuyDomains?
