Hmm.. no. Google ranks based on what others say as well. Actually, this is key. It is not the classification but the ranking that is at issue. Parties are not responsible for what they discover, but what they assert. That is why a Google to a web page of the vendor does work. It isn't Google, but the web page that makes the assertion. Google is just locating and ranking. But ranking alone is just part. That doesn't make MS the location of hell. It means that a lot of people want others to think it is. Maybe that is why they are located in Red-mond. Still, Google had to do something other than policy; they had to fix that reference manually because it was gamed. Am I to believe based on all of the nasty blogs over RSS that Winer is the anti-christ of RSS? No, but Google alone might lead me to believe that, and Bill Clinton is the Overlord Of Cigars, yes? See the point. Vette the information because a pure voting system based on misinformation votes badly and if that is fed back to a system as gospel, one gets bushwhacked. There are whole camps of marketing literature that teach these techniques (how to sell anything). Can Google spider a UDDI registry? If so, that is useful. len -----Original Message----- From: Bill de hOra [mailto:bill.dehora@p...] > From: Bullard, Claude L (Len) [mailto:clbullar@i...] > > Nothing except that it is based on self-assertion, not > heresay. Everything Google indexes is already a self-assertion; Google indexes what is published. Everything a UDDI registry indexes is a self-assertion; UDDI indexes what is given to it. Let's try a gedanken: Suppose Google spiders a UDDI registry - are two parties less responsible because they went through Google rather than the UDDI registry?
