[NetBehaviour] sondheim censored....

[marc]

Hi Carlos,

Yes, Google is frightening.

If one types in to - find web pages that contain the term "furtherfield.org"
we get 37,900...

If one types net art - you find furtherfield on page 6, on google.

Which would be fine but, we are really should be higher up to reflect 
what we do and the involvement of furtherfield and all the projects. It 
really does feel as though we have been censored...

 > a few months ago the austrian art- group "monochrom"  ( 
http://www.monochrom.at/english/ ) also went down on the google - 
index.  altough they had a top ranking (#1 if you were looking for 
"monochrom" @  google.com), today the website can be found only on page 
10 or something  (to be correct: number 89 in the ranking is a link to a 
game (sovjet  unterzoegersdorf) on their website, not to the entrypage). 
johannes (one  of the group) told me that a friend of him said monochrom 
was somwhere  listed as site with "explicit content", which is simply 
not true.

was  something to do with explicit material on the server (or 
somthing),  which there isn't. I have emailed google and have totally 
ignored  regarding this. It is worrying...

content? There is a blurred image of breasts, that's all. And "moon"  
doesn't give anything away unless someone thinks it has to do with  
"mooning". I'd appreciate anything else you could add to this..
