Spidering Google Docs
September 20, 2009
I spotted the story “Google Ready to Unleash Spiders and Expose Your Google Docs” and wondered if it was a bit of humor. I did some poking around in my Google info repository, and I could not find any info that proved or disproved this Next Web story. You will have to make up your own mind. The addled goose does not use Google Docs because he is 65 and happy with his own ineffective, outmoded system for managing digital content. Tip: the addled goose pays a pile of pin feathers and on premises infrastructure that works just fine. No cloud need, that you. The sky is not falling. The Google will index Google Docs that a user has linked to from a publicly accessible Web site. This is similar to Google’s indexing PDFs on my Web site in my opinion. Read the Next Web article and decide whether you have been hit by a chunk of the Google cloud or having access to more public info.
