Nutch,
the open source search engine project, has some
pretty impressive people on board , including Lotus
founder Mitch Kapor. "Search is close to a duopoly...historically
we know there are risks when that happens. It's too
important an application to not be transparent".
Interesting times.
According to Andrew Goodman, paid
search advertisers are happy to see the end of August.
Google
make BloggerPro free. What was the blogging tools
vendors business case again?
The best news I've heard all decade,
and last decade: The
Pixies are getting back together. I am un chien
andalusia. Have a great weekend.

"We
want Google to be universally accessible and useful".
Birthday engine turns five, restates anti-portal
directive.
In their on-going mission to alienate
music consumers of all ages, the RIAA settle
out of court with a 12-year-old girl accused of trading
copyrighted songs. Tough guys.

Little news, but there are a few
interesting threads about the place today: Adsense:
how do advertisers feel about it? and Bob
Massa resurfaces to discuss PageRank. Chris Ridings
gives his
opinion on various forums. MakeMeTop does
an absolute
demolition job on the clueless.
<hat-tip> Marketing guru Larry
Chase is a searchengineblog reader, and has been
giving this site favourable reviews of late. Thanks
Larry - much appreciated.
An expensive
war on an abstract noun. Seen on a t-shirt: "my
friends went to iraq looking for weapons of mass
destruction and all they found was this lousy t-shirt!"

Yahoo
provide RSS news feeds. Nice one.
Webmasterworld PubCon is sold out
already. London bar owners delighted.
A look behind Google news. How
Krishna Bharat made news with Google
Interesting
survey (thx WMW)
by Yahootomi indicates potential future direction.
Look's like it may be going pay-for-inclusion-per-click.

A lot of criticism regarding SEMPO
appears to come from those SEO's who want to let the
search engines.....actually no, just Google.....define
SEO best practices on their behalf.
SEMPO should resist attempts to define
best practices other than where there has been open
discussion and agreement between the search engines
and the SEM representing body. In the past, it's been
a one-way-street.
No more. It is time for SEMs to play
their part in setting the agenda and that agenda should
be suitably broad based. Why? What happens if a search
engine shifts their definition? Which search engines
definition do you rely on? Whos' interests are being
served - those of the search engines or those of the
SEOs own customers?
The list goes on....
