well perhaps that explains it, as i have been carrying on an email
conversation about non-technical small business and kids. google has
always given me precise explanation so laughable workarounds can be
executed, that mean turning your brain inside out when doing a new
site, such as policing client's dead links, which might be at
elementary school auctions where they might have donated an item,
bribing friends to add links and google the new official site every
day, etc. these things are easy enough for computer people, but if
google wants to be even more ubiquitous, there are specific
improvements that bring more people on board. i can see they probably
already know i want to fix them.

hah. i hear confirmed again and again that 'larry' [yes, THE larry] looks at every resume. every one. any attempt to scoff at this to employees is met with a patronizing, saddened look that says, 'you don't know how it works in googleland'
this is true! about every six months google actually emails me, or calls me on the phone to get me to send my resume and then I hear zip. this is sad because finally have competency, will take suicide assignments, and at a thrifty price with less degrees than some of you.
