Copyright fun with Vimeo and Google

14 January 2012

Vimeo folks wrote me a nice letter a few days ago, noticing me they have removed a bunch of my videos from my account, videos that were breaking their rules. From 100+ videos, they removed half. I reviewed a few of them and asked myself, and them, how is this video, par example, breaking the […]

The web should be smaller

23 February 2011

Imagine all the duplicate videos from youtube removed. All the sites that are just reblogging the information from TechCrunch and AllThingsD without adding any value or opinion. All the duplicate images from blogger.com removed. The web is getting bigger, but not getting any better.

Google » handpicked results. Google just admited it fixes search results. Simple.  Of course, not all the time. Of course, never, they […]

22 January 2011

I want action, oooo Satisfaction, oooo! Poison said it, not me. IT’s what came to mind reading this post by Matt Cutts. The fun part is here: One misconception that we’ve seen in the last few weeks is the idea that Google doesn’t take as strong action on spammy content in our index if those […]

About twitter pagerank

2 January 2011
