Drinking the Kool-Aid

I hear those guys at Google are pretty smart, and gots lots of computers. I’m betting they could… establish a common protocol where anything wrapped in a certain tag/id/class (like the whole list of comments) would have no URL’s indexed by the Googlebot. [emphasis mine]

Hmm, that sounds familiar. Why hasn’t some enterprising Googler made use of her/his 20% time to do something like this? The idea’s been around for a while now, not only, and not first, in my post–in fact, the second quote is from GoogleGuy. Seems doubly puzzling given that in a matter of months, working on my own, [one is] able to go from a lunch table conversation to launching a new service.
