(2003-05-19) Invisible Archives

Dave Winer and Doc Searls have pointed out that Google's results would be less "skewed" toward WebLog content if periodicals (like the Ny Times and Time Magazine) didn't charge for their archived content. Thus they have Invisible Content.

Very different aspect of the same controversy: Robert Scoble says that Google is getting pressure from advertisers to make blog pages less highly-ranked. Is that because they're more opinionated and independent than "real" journalists?
