Google Chrome: Trust Us, We Aren't Really Lizards from Outerspace Who Have Come to Harvest You for Food

By David Rodnitzky on 09/04/2008 in "Analytics Blogs"

Is it just me, or is the sudden flurry of Matt Cutts posts explaining the goodness of Google Chrome cause for concern?

Here’s a guy who posted a total of six times throughout all of August, and then suddenly launches five extensive posts in three days about Chrome. Just look at the titles of a few of these posts and tell me that this isn’t part of a major “We’re not evil like Microsoft and Internet Explorer” campaign:

“Preventing Paranoia: When Does Google Chrome Talk to Google.com”
“Answers to Common Google Chrome Objections”
“Google Does Not Want Rights to Things You Do Using Chrome”

Touchy, touchy!
