A few articles have appeared recently from print journalists suggesting that Google and other search engines are giving too much weight to weblogs. One even invented a "news" story that Google was going to take blogs out of the index. He didn't have a source at the company, it was pure speculation, and later strongly rejected by a company spokesperson. It's a wonder this guy keeps his press badge. Anyway, Doc Searls, the happy blogger (always!) finds a glass-half-full solution. The print journalists should walk down the hall to their publishers' office and request that they make their archive publicly available so it can be indexed by the search engines. Google is just indexing what's on the Web. If you want to be in Google, you gotta be on the Web. It's pretty simple. [Scripting News]
