Called it on Google search plus their bullshit.
Duh.
Sarah Lacy is shocked -- shocked! -- that Google refuses to change their stance on doctoring search results to favor Google properties.
I Guess We Have Google’s Answer: Search Results Are No Longer Sacred
The rules have clearly changed: Google is now reserving the right to change search results to bolster its other business lines. Don’t expect otherwise.
Please. You already knew this because I already told you as much:
Those clamoring the loudest for Google to return to its past do not understand that that past is no longer there for Google to return to.
Page may engage in some PR friendly moves, but never again expect Google to offer "neutral" search results. It's not merely naive, it's no longer feasible. If Google were to adhere to what the believers say is Google's mission, than it would be marginalized within a few short years.
I continue to be shocked by how little BigBLog knows, and how much they follow the herd.
I don't necessarily like what Google is doing, but have praised Page for giving the big F-U to those that insist Google return to what they think Google ever was.
