Google Steals the Web - A MUST READ ON SIDEWIKI

[webmastero]

I see 2 issues here, and its Google's destruction of the internet all over again.

1. most people with a bad experience complain, but people with good experince dont say anything at all, so lots of bad comments for everyone as there is always something wrong, site speed one day because of a server upgrade, whatever....

2. How to combat the issue, make lots of comment of your own, a new part of SEM, spamming the system with good comments from fake Google accounts.

So this is just like when google said you need content to rank well, so people that didnt need content on their site because their flash web design site looked nice and did the job it was intended suddenly spammed their own sites with useless customer facing content, making the site look terrible.

Well done Google, let me congratulate you on your next step to devalue the web!

This is really a cancer on the internet. There was a similar project to this made many years ago and it received so much bashing and so many lawsuits that it disappeared. I can't believe Google brought it back, though.

The only good part is that I can't imagine casual internet users going through the trouble of installing this thing, or even knowing it exists...it will probably be one of those tools that only the internet marketing crowd will bother with...or fight against..
