POPSSkype Outage Highlights Mahalo's Faults? No offense Allen but you're just plain wrong here. Yes Mahalo doesn't pick up "new" news as quickly as automated bots, again just like Alexa as long as you understand how the data is collected this shouldn't be a surprise. The important question here is; Will the Skype outage of Thursday August 16th 2007 really go down as a "newsworthy" topic? One that would warrant a complete page on Mahalo? The answer is No, of course not, the story barely belongs in Google's index as I'm sure it's already been resolved and 99.99998% of the population didn't even notice. As far as Mahalo using social news site to promote original articles I don't really take issue with that, Jason will just need to be careful not to focus too much on that sort of social baiting. As you can see from Digg, most social communities tend to boil down the the least common denominator as the audience exands.

POPSGoogle Removing torrent Results, Open Source Search Engine Anyone? TorrentFreak has the story on Google censoring torrent search results. It's nothing new, as Google has been removing results for years on the requsts of various media companies like the RIAA/MPAA etc. Which brings me to my call for an open source, offshore (possibly) search engine that allows the community to determine what gets censored.

POPSSomebody Call The Waambulance, Google Isn't Perfect Everyone is up in arms lately about Google's TOS and search robot lockout. People point to the hypocrisy of the situation citing that Google relies on 'openness" from other web properties for it's news service. Everyone in the blogosphere needs to get over it, and realize that Google is a typical competitive corporate establishment that doesn't always "do the right thing" and will aggressively look to protect and grow their business model. Why do you think they are crusading against paid links? ( Ad Words anyone)

POPSSpock is a Search Engine Made of People! The social search scene is great and all, and I'm sure there's a market there but I'm also sure there's lots of people who DON'T want to show up in Spock's results. What is the "opt out" feature like?
