This is news worthy? How reliable is this anyway, given that the only sources seem to be blogs about this guy who blogs? --Fastfission 00:52, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This is the biggest story in the tech blogosphere, which shows that it is of wide interest, let alone the fact it's been picked up on by the NYT. You've also got some guts if you're doubting Jeremy Zawodny's veracity :) Dan100 (Talk) 07:55, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The Zawodny piece is still just an interview the fellow who was apparently fired. It doesn't get the other side of the story. Note that even the NYT article simply says that Google declined to comment on the reasoning of his termination. Surely you can see why this is a methodological problem, yes? Also note the way that the NYT article is structured: rather than saying, "Google did X," it says, "Blogger says Google did X." That's a big shift in assumption of veracity. I still find it mostly irrelevant, but I'll take your word on it. I've tried to make the article more NPOV.--Fastfission 01:09, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
