Google Blacklists CNet Reporters
An anonymous reader writes "Cnet News.com is reporting that Google is no longer talking to Cnet reporters. In an article about the search company looking for new executive chefs, the article states: 'Google representatives have instituted a policy of not talking with CNET News.com reporters until July 2006 in response to privacy issues raised by a previous story.' Apparently, Google was angered by an article published earlier by Cnet where all sorts of personal information about Google CEO Eric Schmidt was included. The information was obtained from Google searches."
If the author's point was to show how Google can be used to invade privacy, I'm not sure why Google would throw a hissy fit.
Are they saying you shouldn't use Google to invade privacy? If so, don't allow it in the first place.
Or is he just afraid people will learn he likes Elton John.
Except for ending slavery, the Nazis, communism, & securing American independence, war has never solved anything.
Anything involving the reduction of scope for C/Z/net to grow is good. Rarely in my life have I ever come across such a poor source of information.
Seriously, what the hell are they actually good for? Biased reviews, news available elsewhere, and alleged 'gurus' writing columns that are either blindingly obvious or hilariously incorrect.
If I were Mr. Google, I'd refuse to talk to them purely because they're rubbish, never mind any previous articles and privacy concerns.
Why not just promote from within the company? Is the food really that bad?
Yeah Drew Barrymore won't speak to me either despite all the flowers, postcards, and pictures I send.
Seriously. When did anyone have an obligation to do an interview?

Man, you are the king of restating the article summary aren't you?
For once could you at least attempt to impart an original thought rather than regurgitation the article? Sheesh, this one is just regurgitating the article _summary_.
No Comment.
"In ar article about the search company looking for new executive chefs..."
So I guess Google is branching out into the food business?
The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
Article's pulled off, so here's the Google cache.
This place is retarded.

Would it really have been that difficult to type six more letters? You went to all the trouble of typing up an entire comment saying nothing, and then you want to save on six keystrokes. You could have used a comma and periods instead of the useless ellipses and come out almost even.

And what if I didn't put it on the Internet? What if it was just email?
