It was great to get the official word from someone inside Google for the first time.    Just for full disclosure, Rick noted that the <i>Social Media Consortium</i> had [some characteristics of a splog in its design. He suggested that we should not reveal which, so Google can continue fighting those sites that are really splogs.]    Sadly, the sensors promptly picked up the reinstated blog before Vincent had a chance to change those links.    But it does look like we don’t need our own Felix Salmon in this case.

While I appreciate your frustration, I tried to explain the characteristics of the blog that made it particularly difficult for our reviewers to feel comfortable reinstating. Nevertheless, I have reinstated your blog. I’ve replied to your e-mail, Jack.
