I noticed this blog: thenextweb.com: Google Blocking Negative Search Recommendations On Islam – Why? today (a bit late possible).
It tells about how Google possible is censoring search suggestions which could be controversial - in this case towards Islam.

Most everybody knows about Google in China so we know Google does … lets call it fiddle to be neutral ... with the search results in various situations.
However this begs the question - how do we actually know that Google is acting fairly and doesn’t censor or cheat with the search results in ways we cannot know?

Their revenue comes from advertisement and being able to provide a clear picture of what people search for to provide targeted advertisement.
So it would stand to argue that they can’t really afford to suffer doubt about their objectivity and whether or not they alter or effect or even censor search results.
However how would anybody know?

Is Google now so big that it doesn’t matter if they do questionable things? Can … would … people even stop using Google if it was confirmed that they are actively censoring? Is it even possible? Or are Google now so big that they can do what they want, when they want?

One can only speculate but my trust in Google is diminishing as they keep growing bigger and spand more and more features of the web, and with situations like this and China.
I still use their services, however …for now.

Do no evil.

Well, it seems that I've started to develop a little more of a taste for blogging, but finding it constraining to have both my professional(-ish) blog posts combined with my "real life" posts.
This means I've had to judge much more to avoid having my profesional opinion tainted by my private - well, not really :)

But when I started it was just my perspective that I wanted to use this as a means of collecting experiences for myself in an easy to get to position, but seeing as I've blogged quite a bit about SQL it seemed fitting that I started to move those posts and that topic to another more dedicated website/blog.

So over the next period of time (hopefully not too long, depends on how fast I can get a 301 redirect set up for specific posts), I'll migrate the SQL posts to another website, and start blogging more "personally" and opinionated here, while keeping my other blogs purely about SQL (for now).
It'll be interesting to see if I can step up blogging as well with a more clear diversion between the two.
At the same time, I've decided to take a look at Twitter, but mostly for fun. So I'll try to keep that feed up as well. 

Thus, I appologize in advance for any dead links, but I'll try to move the posts and set up 301 redirect as to not loose search engine directs and possible bookmarks. It also means the categories will be reworked a bit on this site, and the blog tags of course will be affected as I move posts to the other site.

The URL of my SQL website will be mentioned once I get posts over there and 301 set up. Until then I'm keeping it "not so big" a secret :D
