Google News is a portion of Google that is compiled by processing pages from a select set of websites. Recently, they decided to remove a source from the set. Andrew Orlowski is hoping that the entire blogosphere can be googlewashed from the main part of Google. Dave Winer wonders how Google could accomplish this. Bernie Goldbach points out that “a rising number of marketing sites and e-commerce sites are using blog architecture as their content management system.” The only way I can see this working is through some sort of human-intervention. I have several sites that are created with weblog cms systems, and more of them are not weblogs than are. While it certainly makes sense for Google to choose the sources it uses for news, it makes absolute no sense for them to try to manage weblogs in the same way. It is too bad that an actual Google employee was not interviewed for his insight.
