Google Arrogant?

“Right now, Google needs no one’s special good will, and acts that way. This is reminiscent in some ways of Microsoft, a company that had public support and industry allies, but almost no tech-world friends. Google is no Microsoft, yet, certainly not in the willingness to flout the law. But Google’s willingness to flout other norms – in particular, its grossly insufficient privacy stance, which amounts to “trust us” – will eventually rebound in ways the company may not appreciate today.”
– Dan Gillmor, Google’s Unnecessary Arrogance, 8/24/2005 [Via Kottke.]

Google Mobile Sitemaps

Google introduced Mobile Sitemaps. I find it disturbing how many people invest so much energy to produce twice for two media – when HTML in its original spirit (and much of its design, like media-dependent CSS along with separation of layout and content) is a cross-media format; i.e., the same HTML document would work fine for mobile phones as well.
