Google Hates Us All

I guess I know what the topic will be on the radio show today.

UPDATE: Google’s response is here. Seems that someone left a slash ‘/’ on a line by itself in the list of spyware sites – which means all sites were flagged.The problem occurred from 6:30 to 7:25 Pacific Saturday morning.

This is an incredibly stupid error and shows how vulnerable the net is. Also, where do I turn off phishing filtering in my Google results?

Google Buys Jaiku

Great news for Jyri and Petteri and the Jaiku team - Google has just bought the company. This is so well deserved - the Jaikus have been working so hard and have created a superior product. Google already owns Dodgeball - but Jaiku has so many additional cool features. I presume this means a native Jaiku client on the GPhone? And you can continue to follow me on Jaiku at chieftwit.jaiku.com.

Google Hates Me

I'm in the middle of the radio show so I'll make this brief. I can't search on Google. In Firefox, Safari, and directly from the Google site I get the same error message: Even when I supply the captcha it refuses to perform the search. Has anyone seen this before? This is bizarre! It's only happening on my Mac. The PC on the same network works fine. Must be something I'm running on the Mac. (Stickam? Wakoopa?)
