Comparisons with Microsoft's antitrust problems are utterly specious, as anyone who really understands the MS cases should find obvious. And indeed, what of the *users* in these debates? Google is constantly adapting to what its users want -- that's why it has been so successful. The complaints about Google's search results seem to come mainly from a small set of parties (and in some cases, their "astroturf" allies) who are upset because their attempts at gaming Google's results via SEO tricks have either failed or have become decreasingly successful. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - Global Coalition for Transparent Internet Performance: http://www.gctip.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Google Buzz: http://bit.ly/lauren-buzz Quora: http://www.quora.com/Lauren-Weinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
