@nelsonMinar @pamelafox @cidbona and any other googlers. Do you think it could actually ever go back to the way it was? Or is it too late? The beauty of Google in 2001-3 was that it gave you hope for what a company could be in the future.

@jrockway - I know you just started at Google. Anyway, here are the deeper issues. 1. I had mentioned this in another post to you before. Anyway, some people(not all) are upset because your company said you were better than everyone else.

You honestly feel that the Matt Cutts article about seeing his werewolf photo benefits search results? You are definitely in the minority. Look at the comments. EDIT: Never mind. Didn't know you are a Googler. of course you agree with M

A little over the top, but to your point. See this search for cars I just did... 2 real results on the entire page. http://oi39.tinypic.com/2s62a9k.jpg

Yes, I use Bing and starting to use DDG for tech queries... You are wrong about fb/twitter are the only ones who care. Look at all of the comments on the blogs... Here is one for an example. http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/search-plus-your-

ex1: it's an ad for google for google products no? It's not relevant like Cleetus said. ex2: In 99% of searches I would never want to see that, but I just searched for sales and he is #3... some blurb about kindle fire sales. A. I don't n

I'm not surprised. It is weird though. He is not in my circles and never has been. Even if he was I don't care to know he is going to the game. :)

Cletus: The outrage is from people who feel they were lied to and instead of apologizing google seems to be defending their actions. You said: As far as SPYW goes, it's all about giving the users more relevant results. This is something you

search nfc championship game in google. In my results MG Seigler's g+ account is ranked #5. Above the nfl, nytimes, espn, etc. It is a G+ post where he says "going to the nfc championship game with Sarah Lacy" - Keep in mind, I am not fri

Blake: If Focus on the User really doesn't want to be "evil" and you want to "focus on the user" then the plugin needs to be changed. The edits the plugin makes are better, but it just looks like Facebook/Twitter are just making sure they

This is great. I will add the pseudonym of Mortgage Loans and my profile will be the #1 result in Google.

I would argue on both of your statements, but I don't think you are reading anything I write. :)

Incorrect. I did a search for "test" while logged out. In the top 5 results there are 2 results for MG Seigler who I am not connected with in any way. Then I did another search for NFC Championship game - Again, MG Siegler #5 in the resul

You aren't familiar with antitrust laws. Because a company has a free product does not mean it can't be anticompetitive. Free means nothing. Example: If one company owned 90% of the media content in the world and gave it a way for free beca

Yes, but why did anyone feel entitled that their browser should be bundled with Windows? Or that Microsoft shouldn't be allowed to include their own software within their own software? Seems to me that is a sense of entitlement from non M

I believe the point is that within the past month Google's "Do no evil" has jumped the shark. It no longer exists. But some people still trust them for some reason that I dont understand. Maybe because Matt Cutts seems like a nice guy or

Well they must have missed a week. Search for cars while you are opted-out of personal search. You will see the Google+ Ferrari page on the right. Is that really what people want to see? The normal Ferrari website isn't anywhere in the t

Yes, they took user behavior into account and realized that it didn't matter because they have to get into the social space. Remember, social media success is tied into all Google employee bonuses. They are willing to make search worse in

Chrome is by far the best browser imo. I am surprised it has taken so long to get here to be honest. I guess people are just too lazy to switch sometimes.

Moultano: I 100% believe google keeps ranking changes siloed from the ad side, but Google 100% favors its own properties within its search results so you can't be surprised that someone thinks this way? Here are some examples for you that n

The reason why people single Google out is because you act like you do no wrong... See the article quote: "flying a banner of doing no evil, and then they're perpetrating evil under our noses" You are like an in the closet politician that i
