This doesn’t surprise or shock me (like it does rustybrick, see below), but it is interesting, if true, that Google would admit that the PR showing in the Google toolbar is the equivalent of a parlor trick.

This is shocking news, I mean, we all knew PageRank was not something to look at too closely these days, but for Google to come out and say “The PageRank that is displayed in the Google Toolbar is for entertainment purposes only”, kind of shocks me.

Another parlor trick would be their blog. I wish the GoogleGuy would start writing again, as it seems after Google’s IPO, he did as he said he would and stopped commenting on what was happening at Google. The interesting stuff which might better explain things like the bogus PR display. The Google blog has been treated like more of an afterthought than a regularly updated, useful and/or very interesting blog. It isn’t nearly as creative as one would expect from Google. More updates, less corporate fluff, please?

Did this post make you go hmm?
