Google Limits Page Views Or As The World Gets Weirder
Strangely enough, just before this “story broke” (actually it was hidden in a tiny little section of our local business paper which I detest – the paper and the hiding), a friend of mine running WorldNewsVine and I were talking about the people’s right to news and how it’s used on their websites and blogs.
I won’t get into the whole convoluted mess, but here’s the little snippet of information that, if anything, should get you to take a look at your own web site or blog if you provide feeds:

Or just do what I did and type in “google limits articles” into their search engine.

Well, it is definitely time to switch over to Bing and let google die on the vine. Murdoch should not get his way in any situation regarding the internet. He has tv and newspapers and that is enough!
