The Core

I see, it's essentially stop frame animation, slapping a new frame over the old one rapidly for the rightmost elements, and more slowly as you go left. Didn't realise you could specify times like that though, very neat indeed

In the long term, doesn't this hurt Google most of all though? If they won't provide the referral data, webmasters (of all sizes) will find it harder and harder to provide quality sites to Google... which impacts on their (already shaky) results quality. People started using Google because they had noticably better results than anyone else. If they eventually become noticably worse, users will just go elsewhere. There's a certain amount of user inertia to overcome, but ask Y! or AV what happens to an SE when it's no longer the shiniest tool in the box...

As far as I know, WITS still runs. It's Keith Hazeldens gig, I think

It's still such a rapidly expanding market, there is room for everyone, almost without regard to their competence. I spoke to Nick Wilsdon at Brighton, and one thing he said struck me. He said he keeps seeing people he has passed over for junior roles due to lack of experience keep popping up at other agencies with "Senior Whatever" type job titles. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed rule, for now

I know some people have had success with things like eBay and Chitika ad modules as a replacement for AdSense. Chitika will even do contextual ads for you, I think, although you have to be careful not to place those with AdSense of course

>>  Their only weapon to defend against their inability to create a fair search engine.

The sad part is that they are totally capable of creating a fair SE. But they'd have to give up some control to do it, and that's what they can't face, it seems. They are trying to build a walled garden so big, you don't even know you're in it, because you can't see the walls
