Google Techs, Webmasters Mingle

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-don't-know-those-dance-moves dept.

Steve Nixon writes "Free-flowing beer, live music, karaoke and arcade games kept the party raging at the Googleplex the other night, but the real action was unfolding inside a sterile conference room at Google's headquarters. That's where the cunning internet entrepreneurs who constantly try to manipulate Google's search engine results for a competitive edge were trying to make the most of a rare opportunity to match wits face-to-face with the company's top engineers."

    Another google story?

    Cool as it is, it just aint that cool.

    Mod me down if you want, call me biased but there is tons of other "news for nerds" besides some corporation who is after your dollar.

    For some cool search news, Nutch .07 just came out - http://nutch.org/ - i'm loading it up on mozdex through next week :)

  2. Evil? by codeshack · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So apparently "don't be evil" doesn't explicitly prohibit consorting with evil, inviting evil over for cocktails, having a few drinks with evil and in a moment of passion revealing heretofore unknown details of PageRank... If Google's livelihood is contingent on destroying these people, I hope they put something in the fruit punch...
