Ahhh...sweet memories of the 2001 PR0 for me...
>> The GoogleGods have smiled upon me, may they
do the same for all of you!
my post from that original thread, thanks to lazerzub for pointing it out

>> I don't think this (florida) is the worst - but it could become the worst in hindsight.
heini, I agree. I fear (as a SEO) that this is only the beginning.

>> This one is dramatic though. Behavior modification.
Toolman, this one hits home. When GoogleGuy posts this...

>> Personally, I think a user who just types in cheeseburger might want information on how many calories are in a Burger King cheeseburger, or a Wendy's cheeseburger, etc. Or they're having a BBQ and would like to cook the perfect cheeseburger and would like a recipe.

And then I look at the this update, that's what I see. I believe this is the beginning of a major shift. Regular SERPS focusing on information and AdWords/Froogle focused on e-commerce.

If this turns out to be true, than Florida takes the prize. from an SEO point of view only
