Google Drops 2600uk.com

As some of you may have noticed, 2600uk.com has dropped off the face of the Google planet. Asking around it would appear that a number of other websites have also fallen from googles grace and, interestingly enough, each of those interviewed contained information on the darkside of Googles CodeSearch facility.

I swift email to Google produced no reply and checking Google’s cache of 2600uk.com lists our CodeSearch post at the top spot. With its frequent intrusion in to our lives not enough, could it be that Google is also trying to censor those with whom it fails to agree?

I’ve always said, “He who controls Google, controls the world”. Yet with the Google hole becoming ever deeper, it wouldn’t be ludicrous to suggest that Google itself will fall from grace in the not too distant future.

Update: It looks like Google has now relisted the site. Interestingly this comes as the CodeSearch post drops off the homepage and into the archives. Again, there has been no response to previous emails querying Google.
