Hatchets Buried in the Search Industry

So I had an awesome day off yesterday and worked on internal KWR stuff Friday. Upon my return I noticed a little peace making/resolution trend in the search media.

Google's burying the size war hatchet. Here's Battelle on the situation: "The company has decided to take the McDonalds like number off its website - "8 billion pages served...", and instead simply claim to be more comprehensive. 'Google is the most comprehensive search engine by far,' Mayer told me. Can she prove that? Not easily. But there you have it."

Google's burying the no-CNET interviews hatchet. Nice! Schmidt gave an interview for an index size announcement piece.

Sullivan buries his Berlind hatchet. "My sincere apologies for that to David, plus for any suggestion that I somehow was implying that he couldn't write a fair piece about Google because of Google's policy of not speaking to CNET publications."
