2 years ago I shared about a blogger and follower/friend of mine, Ali Akbar, who purchased the domain, googleappsengine.com (he still owns it) in order to create an AppEngine-related blog (since Google apparently forgot to purchase the domain). Ali received a threatening Cease-and-Desist from Google shortly after asking him to immediately discontinue use of the domain and “Take immediate steps to transfer the Domain Name to Google”. It would appear that Google needs to take a dose of its own medicine though. To my surprise, I’ve realized recently that my articles from StayNAlive.com and other blogs are being shared, in their full text, on Buzz and having my ads stripped from them, without my permission.

The meetings are part of an ongoing campaign by Microsoft (MSFT), other Google (GOOG) opponents, and hired third parties to discredit the Web search leader, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.

Last year there was a boom with the name of Cuil whose founders were two ex-Googlers made huge noise when it launched its search engine with the claim of having the largest search index in the world?
The result was a huge initial traffic spike. But when it didn’t “beat Google (Google),” its traffic dropped like a whale being thrown out of an airplane.
