official

[Brett_Tabke]

While speaking today, Daniel Dulitz of Google said the update will happen within 48 hrs and that is as specific as he will get.

STOPPED INTO A CHURCH...

oh, uh, sorry...(slinks off quiety)

[Robert Charlton]

Hmmm. Do you notice GoogleGuy never posts while Daniel Dulitz is in the room?

With a name like Daniel Dulitz there is no place to hide on Google.

Unless he hides in phone booths.... Because of cell phones, though, phone booths are getting harder to find.

[quotations]

Maybe he is posting here and reading WW using his cell phone? That Google WAP gateway is all that.

[Zapatista]

I believe GG's first name is Daniel but his last name is not Dulitz. I think I know what it really is...

:-)

added: Did I say Daniel? I meant another name that starts with D.

I was in the room when the big hint was made, and it was a pretty funny moment - Daniel began this session (which used to be called Search Engine Smackdown) by saying something like "I know that the biggest question on everyone's mind is 'When will the Google Dance begin'" - and he then gave the announcment.

And then a good part of the room wanted to know what a Google Dance is - can you believe it?

[o0_cops_0o]

ok now is that 48 business hours or what? cause if it is we still looking at another week and a day lol

[skipfactor]

Got to wonder how much new traffic that announcement is going to create?

Where can I see more pictures of that forum? Especially those with larges faces of the speaker?

No need to be sorry binki. Around Google Dance time many webmasters pray a LOT. ;)

[rfgdxm1]

Hmm...I just noticed something:

GoogleGuy: "What can we expect? Hmmm. I predict a logo to celebrate the holiday. :)"

I had thought he was just joking, however it is now obvious he knew about the Michaelangelo logo for today. Thus, unless the update is sometime today GoogleGuy's prediction is wrong. Unless of course they have a special logo for tomorrow too.

Within 6 hours

[Tartan75]

GoogleGuy said that some previously banned sites would return within 24hrs. Assuming that they return with the dance, then that would mean we now expect the dance to start within 6 hrs.

[HuhuFruFru]

? googleguy is Daniel Dulitz?

[soapystar]

you can dance if you want to
you can leave your friends behind
cuz your friends don't dance
and if they don't dance, well they're
no friends of mine

[rfgdxm1]

>? googleguy is Daniel Dulitz?

I am almost certain no. Somebody once posted a link to GG's picture. That wasn't Daniel Dulitz. Of course, GG could be intentionally trying to mislead people as to what he looks like.

[HuhuFruFru]

where is that link to his picture? how does he look like? like elvis? or david hasselhoff? or even zz top?

Well I think now that it is fair to say that we there was NO FEB update and the March one is going to be Real Early....

[netnerd]

The update hasnt happened yet 48 hours + march 5th = march 7th - mid march 8th so i guess today will finish it.

[ExtremeExports]

The google dance has already started. It started the day before yesterday. :)

[netnerd]

Yeah it has started - but i meant that it is not complete.

Jaybee,

It's someone using the GoogleViewer... not a deepcrawler.
