You Still Can’t Sue Google If You Don’t Like Your Rankings… Especially If You Can’t Back Up Most Of The Charges
On the other hand Last year, we noted the latest in a long string of lawsuits from companies who were suing Google because they didn’t like how Google ranked their sites in search results. The arguments were weak from the beginning and none of the cases have gone very far, so it’s no surprise to see that in this latest case, filed by a company called KinderStart, the judge hasn’t just tossed out the suit, but called it frivolous and demanded that KinderStart pay Google’s legal fees. The judge then goes on to berate KinderStart’s lawyer for the charges he filed. On one set of charges, the judge noted: “they are factually baseless and because (KinderStart attorney Gregory) Yu failed to perform an adequate investigation before filing them.” On another: “Yu had a professional responsibility to refrain from filing such allegations if he did not have appropriate supporting evidence.” It sounds like a case where the company (and its lawyer) just tossed up any charge they could think of hoping that either something would stick or Google would just fold and settle. However, the basic fact remains: Google is a private company and can rank your site however they feel is appropriate. If your ranking sucks (or if Google removes your site because it felt you were spamming) that may not be good for you, but it’s certainly not illegal.

Please check this out… world’s Oldest (Sort Of) Newspaper Goes Internet-Only While it’s officially the world’s oldest newspaper, Sweden’s Post och Inrikes Tidningar apparently hasn’t published much actual “news” reporting for the last century or so. Founded in 1645, the paper is “the official news organ of the government,” but these days is mostly used for “announcements from publicly listed companies.” That basically makes it sound like a glorified press release service. Either way, it’s decided to give up paper and will now go internet-only — a move that plenty of other papers will probably follow over time, though few will take the same 362 years that PoIT did.Did you know that Oldest means former times; yore: in days of old.. There is a old saying turns Out There’s Plenty Of Investment In Increasing Backbone Capacity Remember just last week when we were told that there wouldn’t be investment in internet backbone because of fears that network neutrality would become legalized, and it wouldn’t make economic sense? Apparently, someone forgot to tell the network operators. A new research report notes that investment in backbone upgrades is exploding, with just about every network operator already working on upgrades or planning to do so in the next year or so. It may be true that there are still business model questions that need to be worked out, but the idea that investments won’t happen due to fears over network neutrality laws seems wrong. Again, if there’s demand for bandwidth, there will be business models that make sense.Did you know that Investment means a commitment, as of time or support. this is worth your time

My friends also told me that big Photo Company Scoops Up Citizen Paparazzi Agency A couple of weeks ago, we posted a story saying that people with cameraphones were destroying the business of paparazzi, since they’re sending their images directly to news outlets without the expectation of getting paid, or to agencies that aggregate the submissions, then sell them on to publications. Following up on that, it’s interesting to note that the photo giant Getty Images, which among other things, has a wire of celebrity photos, has purchased one such agency. It’s bought Scoopt, one of the early companies in the space, and will distribute photos users submit through its channels, increasing their exposure — and probably further undermining the paparazzi. Again, while paparazzi replacement may not be the most noble goal of citizen journalism, it’s looking like an early success story.
