How uncool is that? Imagine all bloggers would now start to link to Google.com content in their own, blog-specific frameset wrappers. Imagine Google would now link web search results in their own frame set.<BR/><BR/>Larry Page, in 2004:<BR/>"Most portals show their own content above content elsewhere on the web. We feel that’s a conflict of interest, analogous to taking money for search results. Their search engine doesn’t necessarily provide the best results; it provides the portal’s results. Google conscientiously tries to stay away from that. We want to get you out of Google and to the right place as fast as possible. It’s a very different model."<BR/>http://www.google-watch.org/playboy.htmlPhilipp Lenssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09340991515644165702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-37651246772846833222007-09-26T03:18:00.000-07:002007-09-26T03:18:00.000-07:00do i smell lawsuits or monopoly ?do i smell lawsuits or monopoly ?Rhawi Dantashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516916817897725904noreply@blogger.com
