The past few months have seen a number of interviews with the guys from the Google Webmaster Help Group.
Summaries and links to all these informative interviews with this nice crowd of experts can now be found here.

As a techie and writer I was caught in a rut; my life and career going nowhere fast.
It’s funny how even the thankless task of saving the world from technological disaster on a daily basis can become a tedious drag after a while and so, stuck doing the same thing day in day out, I was yearning for a new experience; a way to find fortune, fame and preferably my own island in the Caribbean.
Then, one day last week, I spotted an advert at ‘Honest JLH’s Designer Emporium‘ for the ‘Adam Lasnik Bucket Hat‘; an item of headwear which, although I could not foresee it at the time, was to change my life forever.
On the 9th of June, an organisation few people had previously heard of, released a report branding Google as the worst offender on the web where user privacy is concerned.
This in turn, prompted a rather heart-felt response from Google’s Matt Cutts in his personal blog.
This post is the result of a discussion thread, currently underway over at the Google Webmaster Help Group.
In fact, it more or less mirrors my own response therein:
Ok… so now we all know that Google is an ‘Information Mugger’ who hits you over the head and steals your wallet.
