- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10"mom and pop websites... is this guy high or what?"
What's the problem with defending mom and pop websites? Most of the US economy is based on small businesses and most small businesses don't have the resources to keep up to date on all the latest SEO and HTML fads. Actually I was surprised to hear someone from Google, the great empire, think that maybe the search engines work for the websites and not the websites work for the search engines. It's kind of turning bass-ackwards as of late. - tackle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7The only reason this story is on the front page is its title.
- etruscan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3There's nothing wrong with private party's and I don't think Matt is saying that... he just wanted to be "among the people" this time around. If you've ever heard him talk, he's very pro-Yahoo and pro-MSN. He talks about Ask all the time, and he doesn't even use Blogger for his personal blog - he uses WordPress. I'm sure he's proud to be a part of Google, but he's about as unbiased as a corporate voice can get.
- MattCutts, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Alrighty, digg must be quiet on Thanksgiving, or it was webtickle's title that got this dugg. :) I'm the engineer at Google who did this interview with Lee Odden/toprank.
No rip was intended toward Yahoo! or MSFT; it just worked out so that I didn't go to either of their parties. I heard from several people that said they enjoyed the Y!/MSN parties.
More context on the interview if you're interested: a bunch of people were giving some sites a hard time for making newbie mistakes. Things like not knowing how their FTP program worked, so they could only update the root page on their site. I was pointing out that there's a *lot* of less savvy mom/pop websites out there, and at Google we try to figure out how to rank websites correctly even if their website does silly stuff like HTML mistakes. - 1021, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3you mean like 95% of all digg front pagers?
:yawn: digg sucks early in the morning. - toprank, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Ha, thanks! I wasn't sure if he would, but Matt was totally fine with it. He even reminded me that I had asked him to do it. Luckily, I caught him as he was leaving Pubcon.
- moyness, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3matt who?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@Tordek
When you get out of school and/or get into a position of responsibility you will learn there's much more to business than worrying about web standards.
Technology is a tool, not a life form, tool. - toprank, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Yeah, I think "ripping" doesn't make sense unless you know Matt. He's a very, very nice fellow and is rarely critical - even of the competition, so making a little fun of the search engines stands out a bit.
- aerobe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think it's good you stopped by Matt - context can be elusive with digg posts.
- Tordek, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0@mrfoos
Yes, you're abso-*****-lutely right, especially since coding is awfully expensive and hard to learn. Also, since it has to comply with all those standards you have to pay too much... but who gives a crap about standards anyway, that's for real life, not the internets...
(Since you may not get that, that is sarcasm)
If your site complies with standards, Google will index it better. - chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3because Google only has your best interests at heart right?
Don't do evil... apart from censorship in accordance with state regulations so our stock holders don't lose money. But it's ok because it's not evil... no, not at all. - shark615, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1The last thing people that fat should do is grow or try to grow a beard in his case.
The only thing this guy did was prove he is a fat idiot that can't grow facial hair. He works for Google? Could never tell by his bias if he is so mom and pop he should go work for one. - 1021, on 10/12/2007, -8/+5mom and pop websites... is this guy high or what? Bunch of baloney from Schmoogle there. I shouldn't be giving a negative review as I own some of their stock... may be I'll shut up now.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2In other news, Matt Cutts is an opinionated fat retard.
- bhartzer, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2I didn't know you were such a great cameraman! Congrats on getting him to allow you to get him on video!
