Well re bookmarks.. Sadly the internet economy is a huge pyramid scheme build on free work (and in case of WP they even pay for the pleasure). If you have 210000 coming in over bookmarks it's not enough for a normal income for two people in some sectors, althouh better than nothing and maybe in ten years the internet has grown up enough that offline business percentage matches online business percentage.

Still the search engine team are not necessarily all of Google. I don't know how WP and scanning in books doesn't lead to more content inflation. How does the Youtube aquisition fit in? How do you compete with people that just again and again use commercial music while you painstakingly search for affordable legal solutions. Not a chance in hell.

That's the whole call centre point, the guy you talk to might be totally nice and reasonable, but someone somewhere makes funny decisions that don't neccessarily fit into the niceness of employee a or b.

I had IR people as friends, doesn't mean I have to agree with inheritance tax or the person who came up with the idea.
