OT, google's searches:

<< seems everyone knows how to game its formula.>>

Can you give me some example queries (other than WMD <g>)?

Search results might be getting less relevant because of the humongous amount of data (4.2 billion pages and growing).

Google's crown jewel, "Page Rank" is guarded closely and updated periodically. Several folks have started businesses that claim to assist you float to the top of the search results. i don't think they are succeeding.

Do you know of a better mousetrap er, search engine?

And the brutal honesty of the founders' letter is laudable. They could care less of WS's q-to-q madness. Will they stay that way? Certainly, with preferential voting rights, they could. At least for the next few years.

This discussion needs to be moved off to the google thread. Even when their financial numbers fit right in here with TEACaBBL.

MSFT reportedly offered $10 billion to buy google, which i think would be wildly overpaying. but i think MSFT could invest in a google rival and wreck google for a lot less dough than that.
