This would be quite a revelation, if it's someone on a power trip then they have/had a lot of people putting a lot of emphasis on everything that was posted, come on Shoe do the do.
Well I think for some people that has been the result, whether intended or not, I guess we'll have to wait for Shoe.
how do you disprove this? http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2004/08/greets-from-googleguy.html He must be talking about something else...
Some of us have said it all along, there is no way that Google would have someone bouncing around forums posting information.
Like this, and remember, I JUST WROTE THIS: I'm a Google engineer. About three years ago, I was waiting for a program to finish compiling, and I was reading what people online were saying about Google. I remember seeing a question from a site owner about how to structure his site for better crawling, and thinking it would be great if a Googler could just pop by to answer technical questions like that. And then I thought, I'm a Google engineer. I can answer technical questions like that. So I did. Since then, I've managed to post around 2,000 messages in various web forums, setting the record straight whenever possible. So there you have it. Lately, I've been pretty quiet, but at some point I'll hit the Google blog again to hold forth on, say, which is better in a url: hyphen or underscore. Later -- but hopefully, soon,
That movie rocks, like his sense of humor. Shoey maybe someone is pulling your leg - how do you explain that post on the google blog?
Maybe there was once a real googleguy. But to keep the thing going some person on the forum(s) took over the name. Or maybe its something like superman, a google eng removes his glasses and becomes GoogleGuy!!!! Oh no the webserver is getting flooded withs spam pages whos gonna help us!!! Look What's comming over there?? it's a web spider, its a referrer, NO IT's GOOGLEGUY!!!!!! ah, we are safe now!
You gotta hand it to Shoemony... that guy knows marketing. This reminds me of the Cabbage Patch Doll craze...
