Google/WordPress feud on again?

The fine folks who produced the excellent blogging tool WordPress have placed ads from Adbrite.com, a competitor to Google's Adsense on their site. No big deal there.

A WordPress user posted in the WordPress Support Forums asking for help integrating Adsense into his WordPress blog and got a curt response from "Support Maven" Podz who also proceeded to close the thread even though another forum user had offered to help the individual. Either Podz is having an extremely off day or the Google/WordPress feud is on again.

Adsense. A Google Product.

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.
