    According to a TechCrunch article: "California’s Department of Public Health has issued cease and desist letters to 13 genetic testing startups - most notably 23andMe, which Michael [Arrington] tried out earlier this year. The C&D’s are mandating that the labs demonstrate that they have been certified by both the state and federal government, and, perhaps more importantly, that all genetic tests were ordered by a patient’s doctor, which is required by state law." http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/06/17/cease-and-desist-california-tries-to-unravel-23andmes-genetic-testing/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/06/17/cease-and-desist-califo...

  If this is his personal blog, I don't see what's wrong with that. Paul Graham can promote YC in his essays, so why can't Brin promote something he believes in on his personal blog.

    Nothing wrong with it, it just makes it less interesting than if he had something else to say.
