					<description>The implication being that Google is right? Google is not right - check out the Belgium newspapers lawsuit against it for Google News, and Google having to sign an agreement with other media organisations to gain permission to include their copyrighted material on its site.

This argument that hits and page impressions enable you to turn a blind eye to copy theft - and then the strange leap of logic that if you turn a blind eye it is therefore somehow accepted - is now hopelessly outdated.

It worked in the early days of the Net but now people go to a lot of trouble to build up their own revenue-raising approaches from their original content. In this modern Net world, taking content from other peoples sites and hosting it on your own for profit is just not allowable.

The fact is that my site is perfectly viewable using a mobile device - so Skweezer is not even offering a service I do not.

					<description>Just to play devils advocate:  Google harvests tons of data from all the sites it can crawl, and provides the _service_ of helping you _find_ the data.  It places an advertisement for this service.

squeezer provides a _service_ of helping you _show_ the data.  it places an advertisement for this service.  

if anything, skweezer should adhere to robots.txt.  

As a site operator, it is in your best interest to get as many people viewing your content as possible.  People who view your content on their phone will probably view it on their computer.</description>

					<description>Fixed. The images got lost on old posts when I jumped ship from Blogware to WordPress.

Incidentially, Explorer 7 still doesn't work on my machine. I regret the day I ever installed the beta, my machine hasn't been the same since.

I tried to view the images at http://kierenmccarthy.co.uk/2006/03/21/internet-explorer-7-tearing-my-hair-out/

...and got this:

Error 404 - Not Found

Search bar and other tools go here! If you're reading this, it needs to be implemented, remind me!

Consider this a reminder :)</description>
