Certainly Google would monitor the things webmasters are doing and what features they are looking for. Having Google employees viewing this forum, and participating in it, is not a bad thing. A lot of good can come out of it.
Lets not forget, many google employess are webmasters as well. In fact MattCutts is a member here for a long time. I take it as a positive thing actually.
Ok fair enough, just think there are a lot of jokers on this forum who would happily pose as him for a laugh
Matt Cutts is certainly a member of DP Besides - I believe - he used to roam around SEO blogs and forums fews years back. As head of Google SPAM team and knowing his love for the industry - he must have some full time employed people who monitor SEO blogs and forums including DP. So there must be more than one Google employee who monitor DP all the time. P.S - Matt's profile shows his latest activity is on 8th October - 2008.
google dont have that much time. google focus on their algo and make it change at couple of interval of time to avoid spam result
