I am Chris Beasley, the author of this site. Why did I make it? Well because Google has been unfairly getting a lot of flak and I felt someone needed to tell the other side of the story. They are in a position of tremendous power and they do not abuse it. They never sacrifice their vision for the sake of making a buck. They are benign innovators, if only other companies (here's looking at Bill), were this good.
Remember search engines before Google? Compare and contrast AltaVista's cluttered pages from many years ago (try archive.org to find copies) with what they have now (obviously inspired by Google). Compare the flashing "You've Won" banners to the simple text links that Google has made popular, and effective. Google has done more for the Internet than just about any other company. They've pioneered a system that rescued search engines from the spam of the late 90's, and they've brought about a sort of renaissance in page and advertisement design where simple is now in again. They've also always been a model of labeling the difference between paid and unpaid search results.
Unfortunately Google's popularity has made it a target for mud slingers, and thats just not right. I made this site so that the next reporter thats wants to write about how big and bad Google is might get both sides of the story. I also thought it'd be funny, and since it wasn't a big project (a couple hours at the most) I registered the domain and the rest is history.
Many people have accused me of working for Google. In truth, I publish websites for a living. When Google dramatically changed it's ranking algorithms in late 2003 some of my sites (I have nearly 100) lost some very lucrative rankings. That change cost me over six figures a year, seriously. You'd think I'd hate Google, but I don't, and I still defend Google because most of the accusations against them are plain unfair and usually based on flawed logic.
If you want to read other things I've written, please visit Website Publisher. The site is quite new, after writing for other sites for awhile I decided to make my own. It focuses on content for those who own or publish websites.
For those of you in a stew about Google's recently algorithm changes in late 2003, I suggest reading this paper. Instead of complaining to me.
