Now we're suppose to rewrite URLs, I wish they'd all get together on this and come up with one statement. - John Honeck

Wow that opening music is odd (euphamistically speaking). I'll reserve comment on the forums until they work. - John Honeck

"baseball is like the detroit car industry, a boring product that nobody buys. both of which are dying. but people will always tell you about the good old days... the first Corvette in 1957. the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers...right on gramps...still boring" - John Honeck via Bookmarklet

"Today, we're announcing that we will extend the 99.9 percent service level agreement we offer Premier Edition customers on Gmail to Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Sites, and Google Talk. We have been delivering high levels of reliability across all these products, so it makes sense to extend our guarantees to them." - Benjamin Golub via Bookmarklet

So when Google Apps goes down, 1 million businesses go down with it? - Gabe

Down 8.76 hours. I guess it depends when those hours are if it will bother you or not. - John Honeck

"Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine" plus there's been "genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis." - John Honeck

Saw that. Was going to comment, then after the VP's didn't want to fix it knew that it would be a waste of effort as I'm a nobody, so didn't bother. Maybe since they have a blue G telling them to add cookies they will. - John Honeck

"What NOT to do with your footers" - John Honeck via Bookmarklet

YAY! - John Honeck via Bookmarklet

Yup. Pretty much the norm that those keywords have nothing to do with actual searches. - John Honeck

news.google.com now at #19 in search, used to be #4. Reflective of a hardline stance on aggregators? - John Honeck via Bookmarklet

Now at #2, something is up at the plex. Clicks must have been down for the home spun aggregator. You wouldn't want the actual sites that report the news to be ahead of one that just collects feeds and sitemaps. - John Honeck

And anyone entering the monkey house freshly thinks, ‘this stinks!’ You’ve been living in the monkey house.” - John Honeck

Well written and very clear. Maybe the Google should let this author write more for their blog. - John Honeck

Will other checking follow? I hope so. - John Honeck via Bookmarklet

The Real-time(beta) is going to leave twitter in it's dust. Now if only some of these guys could generate revenue instead of just page views I'd be really impressed. - John Honeck

Nice. - John Honeck via Bookmarklet

Wow. Nicest feature I've seen. Evar. - John Honeck via Bookmarklet

Dare, did you read my comments on John's post, e.g. the page on mlb.com that John wanted *didn't actually have* the words "NLCS" on it? That it was a breaking news-type query, which within 24 hours we did much better on? Where I explained that search quality worked independently of ads to improve our organic results? Our "cap" on search quality is not related to ads at all--the only cap we see is that different people will disagree on the ideal results, so Google can only get so good before regular people start to argue about which ordering of search results is ideal. And we'll keep chasing that goal every day. - Matt Cutts

Having spent over four years there, though now completely unbeholden to them, I can personally attest to the extraordinary lengths to which Google goes to identify and promote the highest quality search results for its users. I once brought a deal the the table that would give Google unique and insanely valuable content and piles of money on the condition they created a onebox (prioritized) result. Though useful content, but not yet known to be #1 in the eyes of users, the deal was rejected by top management as being "whorish" - Christopher Sacca

"Oh, here's a bonus tip: normal people can't tell the difference between AdSense style ads and all the other links on most web sites." Spend a few days in Google's webmasters forum and you'd realize how true this statement is. Many wonder how they can get their site in that #1 spot and when told it's paid for cannot believe it, and those are webmasters, imagine how normal people feel - John Honeck
