Google's Secret Directory
Apparently, Google now supports it's own very special SECRET directory.

Go to Google
At the bottom right of the page, click "About Google"
Under "Our Search" (blue banner), click on "Google Services and Tools"
At the bottom of the page, click on "Add Google to your Browser"
At the bottom, under "Other Browser Tricks", click on "press Shift-Cmd-G", and you get -
http://gu.st/proj/SearchGoogle.html

WOW!
Not just some SPAM, but a SPAM Mini-directory ... of Directories?!
I don't get it. What is this? A feminist hack?

they have done this with other similar sites before. Wunderground for example. I think it was first noticed by Webmaster Toolkit over at SearchGuild
http://searchguild.com/tpage11135-0.html
but it might have been noticed at WMW or one of the other forums that I don't go to much.

You can also look at http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e...8&q=gu.st&meta= and view the cached pages. The real pages have gone for me.

VORD -

The cached pages you link to ARE the pages I am talking about!
Still there for me.

Here is a screen shot -

It'll be an ISP cache thing. I think the gu.st site has been taken down.
