About 6 or so months ago, I recall reading an article about Google's PR which stated that Google was placing less importance on PR in terms of where a site is ranked in the SERPs. This particular article had a quote in it from a Google guy who stated, apparently rather suprisingly, at some convention that he was surprised that so many people were placing such importance on a feature that was intended merely for amusement...or something to that nature. Can anyone recall this article and point me to it?

Thanks,
Kim
