Let me get this right - this is a re-write of something on Google's blog, about a "Web2.0" equivalent to logging 404's, called "free links to your site"... why is this the top story on hacker news? sigh I want a "from now on, invert the votes of anyone who upvoted this crap" button.

"re-write of something on Google's blog" Matt Cutts works for Google - I think for many SEO types, Matt Cutts IS Google. I agree that the title is complete linkbait, but the tool itself is useful to know about.

Google should seriously invest a little bit of money and pay to have the site design for Matt Cutts look better. Add a custom design (not a template) and maybe say somewhere that he works for Google. I've sent some customers to that site, and they don't take it seriously.
