Any of you guys out there interested in Google and/or web technology should definitely check out this blog. It is run by a Google software engineer named Matt Cutts. He is surprisingly candid in discussing the search giant that employs him. He even offers his thoughts on what he considers his “least favorite Google parameter.”
That post and its comments have a lot of interesting little tidbits, such as the complete list of custom Google holiday logos back to 1999, as well as code that allows you to play around with how Google displays itself in your browser. Be sure to check out the discussion of Bigdaddy too.
His blog is truly fascinating. I’ve been browsing it all afternoon.
Highly Recommended!!
Here is a list of “official” Google blogs and blogs by company employees as well.

Hey David,
That guy has some very interesting information on his blog. His posts regarding how Google indexes and crawls pages, how they blacklist and whitelist, robots.txt, etc are great. On a side note, I think I would love to work for Google.
