Dave points to a Guardian Unlimited article (he's quoted in it) about the whole Google/Orlowski fiasco.

It doesn't matter if Orlowski's speculation about removing blogs from the main search is true or not. What's definitely true is that Google has a blog problem on their hands. But this is the great thing about the Internet -- just when a company thinks they have it all staked out, the 'Net changes the rules.

What is also true is that I'm not the best person to talk about "NIH Syndrome", even though Google thought so for about two weeks. But not to worry -- my subsequent post about strange Googling now ranks higher than the original. Clearly, there's a temporal variable at work somewhere ... or maybe they have fixed the problem already. Kudos to them for being so responsive.

Google is notorious for coming up with neat stuff. I wouldn't expect their solution to this problem to be any different.
