xan picks up steam on patents - ah, the purity of search scientists!
Filed Under Search Engines | Leave a Comment
Apparently the discussion on the new Google patent application at Search Engine Watch Forums has touched a nerve, and xan, one of my favorite people to read, has blogged about patents - at length
I always enjoy how refreshing it is to read these search science people. There’s a purity of perspective and a candor about them that’s about a mile away from the acoutrements (sp?) that generally accompany the usual suspects who post at forums from the SEO mentality and viewpoint.
xan’s blog is gourmet fodder for anyone who likes to feast on the high-calorie, weightier matters of search.
