It should make for an interesting followup even in the "google love fest" of SlashDot
The answers should be interesting, Craig's responses always have a gaff or three.
Brett, did you submit your questions?
c'mon you guys!
I'm surprised at some of the questions. There were several that went right after the caching/copyright issues.
That's probably because the caching issue is on everyone's mind after yesterday's Slashdot thread about the Internet Archive [slashdot.org]. It got kinda loud.
For the record, most slashdotters (myself included) come down firmly on the "caching is good" side of the argument. In general, they're actually quite concerned about the potential for overwrought lawsuits to disrupt the flow of information on the Web.
It's a good read for Google-fetishists.
One interesting tidbit is that he dispels the "myth" that Google punishes sites hosted on virutal domains.
Just a small FYI :)
What I find amazing is the way Google is keeping a good, friendly presence in the outer world, in spite of being the real search monopolist.
If I were the Venture Capital backers, I would make Google the exception to the rule of cashing within so and so many years, and refrain from IPO'ing as long as possible. Keep the University spin-off image, underdog to MSN's and Yahoo's billions as long as possible.
Still - good on Google doing this.....
