New Google service for webmasters - Sitemaps

Google has introduced a new tool to help webmasters by generating Sitemaps which the Google crawlers can then use to better index their sites.

Google Sitemaps is an experiment in web crawling. Using Sitemaps to inform and direct our crawlers, we hope to expand our coverage of the web and improve the time to inclusion in our index. By placing a Sitemap-formatted file on your webserver, you enable our crawlers to find out what pages are present and which have recently changed, and to crawl your site accordingly.

Hattip to Technology News for beating me to this bit of Googleholism.
