- gaius 16y agoTry this: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/8ee1a816-cd81-11df-9c82-00144feab49a.html http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/8ee1a816-cd81-11df-9c82-00144feab4... EDIT OK, try Googling "flash crash single order" and clicking the link from there.
- erikstarck 16y agoSorry, I didn't realize it was a log-in article. I didn't have to log in, got there from Google. EDIT: why are they (FT) doing that? Coming from Google doesn't require registration. Coming from HN does. Weird.
- arohner 16y agoBecause if they didn't, Google wouldn't crawl the article, and then users wouldn't find it through google. IMO, Google needs to stop that.
- erikstarck 16y agoWell, if they want the traffic from Google they have to put out the content. Google is very clear on that and I agree with them. It just doesn't make sense to close out traffic from other sites. A visitor is a visitor is a visitor, coming from Google or not.
- arohner 16y agoAccording to "suit logic", it absolutely makes sense. hey're trying to upsell the visitors. Whether that's actually profitable, I don't know. They want to have it both ways: have google crawl and report there's a page there without registering, and then try to upsell the humans that come by. It's sleazy.
