Is Matt Gone?

Is Matt Gone?

It’s been over a month now since he posted in his blog.

He talks about being on vacation there, but the post is entitled “VACATING”

Does that imply a permanent vacation?

It is tough being an Ambassador.

Are they just “retrenched” at the Googleplex, or is it as his post indicates – GONE?

Maybe everyone should pay closer attention to the book examples and characters mentioned in that post.

I don't know - but posting in his blog is a virtually guaranteed Google IBL lol

I'm glad you asked that question greeneagle. I'm ashamed to say I only came across his blog yesterday and thought I was missing something. Well, I guess I have been: his entries for the last month. Damn fine read though and the Big Daddy entries in particular were enlightening.

In "American English":
"Vacating" and "Vacationing" have two separate, succinct meanings.

I’m about to take a vacation too. Starting on May 22nd, I’m taking off until June 30th.

He deserves a long vacation (6 weeks).

I didn't notice that he was going to be gone that long.

I believe that GOOGLE finds quite a bit of value in the 2 channels they have opened for direct Webmaster feedback. I couldn't imagine them being shut down.

It's not only a safety net but quite a bit of savings in R&D and Public Relations expense.

Still kind of funny that he hasn't updated his blog.

Maybe he will reappear with a thunderous presence.

Surely he is only waiting for the "smoke, mirrors and noise" to clear while traveling in the Congo, the Outback, and the Sahara Desert.

I think blackberries even work in a large region of the Mohave Desert, don't they?

Have we grown to expect too much?

It must be exhausting to be violently pummeled all about the head on a continual basis!

LOL

Considering all the issues at Google while he has been gone (if they really let him leave) I am not sure how happy he will be to come back.
