Google bans itself!

This is a funny story about Google getting a little bit of it's own medicine:

Infoworld.com Article

Essentially, Google marked the blog (owned by Google) as spam, notified the blog owners (assumably Google employees) of their spam designation (which they ignored), and deleted the blog after a certain amount of time. A quick thinking user quickly squatted on the domain and posted some odd stuff.

The blog is back up and running now. Google acted very quickly to get the blog back up and retrieve it's domain name from the squatter. Wonder how quickly they'd have reacted had this been just some joe-schmoe webmaster who had made the same mistake? You can bet that it wouldn't have been taken care of this quickly.

Ha. :)
