Anyone have any guesses as to when we can expect a new systemwide PR update?

[Atomic]

Why is it that we can't come together and through "party politics" and give G, Y, & M the impression of what WE the webmasters and content providers want to happen... It's a twisted ideology and it's politics at its best, but the truth of the matter is that without our content, systems, and structures, G or any SE would cease to exist. Are we that uncontrollable to the point G sees us as a bunch of uncouth animals? Something just isn't right... I think it's time a unified webmaster front across the entire Internet.

It's not about webmasters or the search engines. It's about the people that use both our websites and the search engines to find what they want. It's our job to build good, honest websites and it's a search engines job to make the content we create as easy to find as possible. I wouldn't forget who the real boss is.

true, Yippee.
As I have said B4, it is ludicrous that an industry the size of - lets call us - independent webmasters has no industry association to lobby for us, deal collectively with Google, etc.

How many state, regional and national associations are there for - one example - Independent Truckers? For any industry group you want to name? Apparently we're the last of the independents and Google et al will treat us as pikers who can be ignored with impunity until we exercise some collective power.

I'm not the person suited to do the work to start this - needs somebody with lots of energy and political savvy - but I sure would join and support an association of independent webmasters/websites, whatever you want to call it.

A provocative idea.

Agreed Atomic. However, you know that competition is the cornerstone of democracy. We need a way to figure out what is good results and deliver them. We should be in control of the user experience. And we should be the ones that gets paid. Not G who is pulling in 353 a share off of our hard and honest earned work. Seriously, I've seen people get shot over much simpler stuff like a 7-11 slurpee. Something just isnt right man.

Bobmark,

Is the Jagger 2 spread presently through the DCs or it's going to happen next Wednesday?

Any update on timing will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

They pay a huge a chunk of overall sports revenue but if they lose they lose.
