I am wondering what Google's aswer is to this clear case of dirty tricks.
Their initial reaction was :
'We were mortified to learn that a team of people working on a Google project improperly used Mocality’s data and misrepresented our relationship with Mocality to encourage customers to create new websites. We’ve already unreservedly apologised to Mocality. We’re still investigating exactly how this happened, and as soon as we have all the facts, we’ll be taking the appropriate action with the people involved.'
Am sure we will hear more soon.

Google PR team are misjudging our intelligence with such a flimsy statement. Even a kid can read in between the lines.
It was from nelson mattos, who I think is VP for EMEA, not from PR. Not being a child, I can't read in between any of these lines, maybe you can fill us in on what you infer? Knowing what I know about google, the folks in charge of Google KE (and the region), I am quite confident that none of these shenanigans were approved by them. I think that James was right when he suggested it was a sub-contractor who was responsible and not Google folks themselves. Still, Google needs to make this right, as they (and their partners) are all tarnished by this misbehavior. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is.
