I really don’t keep up with the Search Engine Optimization end of the news or developments. I prefer to stick to simple, basic computing news for average computer users. But I did find a very interesting interview with Matt Cutts from Google. I guess the Internet is at the point where “When Google talk, even E.F. Hutton listens.” It’s a shame that, all so often, a good thing comes under so much control by one company.
I like Google, I think they have earned their success, and are a great benefit to the Internet world. But I am uncomfortable with seeing their tentacles into everything. It’s good reading to see what they are up to and how they “rule” the Internet. As one blogger put it, “it’s a Google world.”
