This post is from from my other blog here

So have you tired yet of this Web Gypsy’s ranting about Google, user performance metrics (/search-engines/algorithm-matters/beware:-google-is-watching-you.html) and personalized search (/search-engines/search-engine-optimization/the-art-of-personalized-search-optimization.html)?
