But Can He Sing?

Gord Hotchkiss jots down some amusing, if slightly unsettling, observations about the cult following surrounding certain Googlers at certain industry events.

On the one point, though, about a spammy page that was brought to Matt's attention, and it probably being penalized after Matt got a look at it... I'm puzzled. Is this how Google catches spam pages? If the attempt was clumsy and stupid, as Matt implied, how come it was ranking? Shouldn't Google's algo, not Matt, be the one to weed out the clumsiest black hat efforts?

Meet Google: the world's largest human-edited link collection. :)
