well, many disagree, especially when you don't even rank in the top 50 for your "domain.com" or "unique corporate name"
Hope this reaches you. I am a well-wisher of Google & was a fan....uptil now.
my website is online since 1999. for last 5 years, we have been on first page first site for our primary keywords.
But, now with this recent algo change of urs, we are nowhere.
This is simply NOT LOGICAL! I categorically state that, we have not spammed or used any technique which is called as black-hat.
In your race in rolling out new products, you have forgotten what your core competancy & responsibility is.
If this is the way you are gonna give importance to the quality of your algo, then I forsee Google going the Alta Vista way. I know many people have already said this before, but I just HAD to say this.

MSN picked the right time to enter the search engine war!
Just a few weeks ago there were only a few of us on here that were #*$!ing about Google. Now there seems to be hundreds! What do you all think of Google now? Are you all still PRO-GOOGLE?
Bring the heat MSN!
These 64.* serps have been around for the past 3 weeks but only on a few datacentres. They won't be the new results.
Let this play out, in the next 24 I think you will see the new serps, good or bad...
And for you all saying that msn's search is great - you must be fooling yourselves. Maybe your sites are ranking well, I say enjoy this while you can. Over the next two years (once your out, your out) you will see the spam drop out, MSN serps are amazingly spammy right now.
One site that uses frames shows twice in the Top 40. Main Google downgrades the duplicate better.
Main Google, IMHO, competes better with the current MSN results.
I do believe that msn is good for the search engine market as well as webmasters and site owners. If it weren't for msn and yahoo the impact of this would have been worse for us. Yes we diversify but still it isn't in comparison to the traffic google has supplied us.
The way I see it. If google drops out of the race, we are down to the 2. It would seem as if we would be no better off. Either yahoo or msn would take more market share. One change in the leader and many site owners and webmasters will be in the exact same boat.
Webmasters and sit owners, I think are better of with a third strong player. Sad thing in many markets, the third player has a hard time keeping up unless they come up with something new and add a new "category" to the market to where they can be #1 and get branded first before the competeition catches on.
