Turns out that it isn't PageRank after all. It's PigeonRank. http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html

Have you taken the time to actually follow the recommended links there?

http://www.bfskinner.org/ - PR8
http://www.fish.cx/google/ifl.html - PR6
http://www.1-toy.com/Toys-Ping-Pong-1.asp - PR5
http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Trained_20bat_20bombs - PR3
http://uscode.house.gov/title_26.htm - PR8

What is that all about?

Seems like they should have a link to Stanford University, or the numerous returns on:
US Patent No 6285999

This page should disappear in the next 2 months! Has very little relevancy to anything but "inordinate complexities" and doesn't very well represent a company that may be going public within 3 months! - Yes they just passed a major audit - and it was the last major hurdle..... That is BEYOND THE FLURRY OF PIGEON DROPPINGS THAT JUST KEEP COMING!

CraigAllen - Hah hah hah LOL LOL.
Man, is thaty funny!

Quote:

Pigeons naturally operate in dense populations, as anyone holding a pack of peanuts in an urban plaza is aware. This compactability enables Google to pack enormous numbers of processors into small spaces, with rack after rack stacked up in our data coops. While this is optimal from the standpoint of space conservation and pigeon contentment, it does create issues during molting season, when large fans must be brought in to blow feathers out of the data coop. Removal of other pigeon byproducts was a greater challenge, until Page and Brin developed groundbreaking technology for converting poop to pixels, the tiny dots that make up a monitor's display. The clean white background of Google's home page is powered by this renewable process.

While no pigeon has actually been confirmed for a seat on the Supreme Court, pigeons are surprisingly adept at making instant judgments when confronted with difficult choices. This makes them suitable for any job requiring accurate and authoritative decision-making under pressure. Among the positions in which pigeons have served capably are replacement air traffic controllers, butterfly ballot counters and pro football referees during the "no-instant replay" years

And I cannot 'prove' that it isn't what it appears!! RTFLMAO ;o>

Maybe we should all take care to recycle the pigeon droppings from our cities by sending them to Google for use in pixels! I knew you all would find it as curiously enlightening as I did when my tech guy sent me the link this morning!
