Google CEO Schmidt Googled and upset
In CNET's recent article Google balances privacy, reach, some information about Google's CEO Eric Schmidt was published that apparently he didn't like. The information came from Googling him!
A recent New York Times article reveals that in retaliation, Google will REFUSE to talk to CNET's reporters until July of 2006.
This seems absolutely amazing! Google has stressed repeatedly that they only index publicly available information. CNET was publishing publicly available information. Now if they had Yahooed him . . .
Sometimes organizations refuse to talk specific reporters, but to blackball an entire organization? Perhaps there is more going on than is public?
