What TechCrunch fails to mention in its linkbaity headline is that it was blocked for exceeding the API limit calls of 3600/hr and was therefore blocked. I do not see how this is news at all. Most likely the article was written just to por

I had a long post written but I think for brevity sake I'll only include what I thought is relevant. > In fact, to make it personal: I'm an aspiring writer. I write on my blog and I just got a couple of pieces published in the Atlantic

Regardless of what actions Google decided to take, this was going to make the news. They could either do this in a positive way by showing that they themselves are not above the law of PageRank, or they can do nothing at all and have Google

It's very telling when UMG just thinks that it had carte blanche on removing anything it wants. Which most likely means it's been banning stuff it doesn't like for years and just ran into someone with money to fight back against it.

DO NOT move Orange (colour) to Orange (color). The problem with Wikipedia is rather than consistency they go with, "who got here first and what is a large majority of the article written in? (British?, American?). All the other pages on col
