Is GOOGLE watching YOU?
This incident has greatly disturbed me. I am not the least bit paranoid nor do I often subscribe to conspiracy theories. The implications of this have rendered me rather depressed, to say the very least. It will pass. I think I might take a day or two off and play in Photoshop. Watch The Food Network and some good old Grade B sci-fi. If the Sun shines tomorrow - I might BBQ.
I'll see ya after I get my head wrapped around this.
I put the documents and pertinent facts below the fold just in case www.notaforum.org crashes.
I also have full screen captures of everything saved.
At10:19:31 PST on 1/13/2011, I left a comment at Lucianne on this thread ...
This is the comment I left on the thread above ...
Just a bit more than an hour later, the googlebot made a specific spider of this specific post on www.notaforum.org from 3 months ago.
Here is the googlebot hit - note the time ...
On that thread is a Youtube video of a JFK speech about taxes, a comment from Ron the Gregarious Hermit and the following comment by me - nothing else.
I have circled or underlined the 'keywords' involved. Now, given that the googlebot spidered my three month old comment within just over an hour of the comment I made this morning and the recent events in Tucson and the well known relationship Google has with the Obama administration and Google's political leanings ...
... do you doubt that Google is now spidering for incendiary speech from the right?
It seems that others are also using search engines to track site comment. I try to add things in comment sections that seem to me to be relevent but ignored. The next day others have expanded on and vastly improved on my observation and made it part of their blog on different sites.All i can say is thanks.

Don't know about that ...
... but the googlebot tracking comments is something else entirely.
