Brett Tabke highlights Google’s selective memory
After yesterday’s “shock” news that Google has accused Bing of copying its search results (and Bing basically said – so what?) Brett Tabke of PubCon / WMW took up the mantle of those of us thinking “But Google’s hardly whiter than white?”
His comments were so good I thought they should be archived for posterity.
