Abe Fettig: "If Dave's anonymous correspondent is seeing hits on /index.rdf and /atom.xml, it probably means that his pages contain links to those files." This theory seems to be wrong. Google is actively looking for these two files, lots of reports being posted agree. Check out the comments here.

A copy of the email I sent to the Berkman fellows mail list (Google exec Andrew McLoughlin is on the list), cc'd to Brad Templeton, Larry Lessig and Robert Scoble. I'm also writing a script that tests this on my servers which are frequently indexed by Google. One has to wonder what's still sacred at Google, will they stop indexing sites whose content they don't like or is this just about formats they don't like?

Zawodny: "Your terse linking style leave a lot of room for interpretation."

Actually, if you read What is Scripting News, linked to in the popup menu to the right, it's pretty clear how I want you to interpret a link. "A link on Scripting News means that I thought that the story was interesting, and felt that an informed person would want to consider the point of view expressed in the piece."
