Very interesting post from Problogger that dissects Google's patent application from back in 2005. Some very interesting ideas on how Google might rank blogs. Particularly interesting are the "big brother" theories including the monitoring of gmail and google talk to see which blogs/posts get mentioned often. I'm sure that will ruffle some feathers, but the idea is taken straight from the patent doc. Makes me wonder if Google will start using these types of methods for ranking sites in the normal Google search as well--or for all we know, maybe they already have.

I have seen this story around lately, it seems like Google is trying to increase what their algorithm can do. Although, I don't believe any of this has been fully implemented yet. As for the "big brother" theories well, theyre well warranted although google isn't taking over the world they have so much data and so much manpower now it is interesting to see what will happen. Cool Post.
