Thanks

posted in Site News |

I wanted to thank all the dozens  of people who have commented and or sent me personal notes regarding a small situation we had in Google Groups. I believe the issue is over so let’s move on from there. As promised I removed the post as I don’t think we need to have a permanent record of the event. I also submitted my URL removal request, let’s see how quick that works!

07/07/07 was indeed an notable day, I choose to celebrate it with a Prince concert in the Twin Cities.

If you liked this post please buy me a beer. Thanks.

    8 hours, and URL removal is still “Pending”

    21 hours and still “Pending”. Initial impressions are that without feedback telling me when the URL will be removed or even if it’s queued is just frustrating. “Pending” could mean a lot of things. So far this users experience is less than satisfactory.

    Just checked at the 36 hour mark and nothing. This is disappointing to say the least.

    Ah, but what-his-name has now decided to add us all to his s*itpot … oops, sorry, honeypot. Oh, and including Adam.

    Well in that case we are all in good company. :)

    I never understood the s*itpot thing. What is the goal? A list of domains that spam an abandoned forum with only 1 active member? What does he think is going to happen? Is google going to visit that list every day and just remove them from the index? The whole concept is strange. I suppose I could start publishing the names of the 20,000 domains I caught in my comment filters, but why would I? Just odd to say the least.

    Have to say I got a little angry when reading a certain ‘other’ group and saw a reference to a select group being ’spammers’. Even went so far as to post my disgust on the real group.

    After some time to think about it (and read the ‘other’ group) I removed my post. Also requested that said ex-groupie not comment on my blog any further.

    A sorry tail - happy it’s come to an end.

    BTW - someone found a new home over on seomoz
