Am I Spyware?
By Shalom Issenberg | December 13, 2007
To be honest, even though I probably shouldn’t admit to it, I am an IE7 user. OK it’s out, I said it! I use IE7 so often I didn’t even realize my own blog is not cross-browser compatible until a few days ago when a firefox user pointed it out to me.
(Side note: I hope to have the issue fixed shortly for firefox)
I do use utilize firefox for SEO tools (extensions) when link building and doing competitive analysis for work. Moments ago I was whipping through the SERPs making comparisons when Google abruptly halted my activity, or rather “over activity”. My excessive search quires combined with the load placed by the firefox extensions made Google suspect my network had been infected by spyware.
Should I be offended, or take it as a compliment? Does this suggest that I have reached speeds not typical of most human beings. I know Google meant no harm; after all they did apologize.
I’m sorry as well
