Happy Birthday to Google Librarian Central. It's a year to the day that they posted the following to their blog:
"Like many of you, those of us who were in DC last weekend are still recovering from the excitement of ALA (phew!)... This summer, our blog team is taking a break to think about the best ways to communicate with you and keep you updated on what's happening with Google. We're not leaving you hanging, though."
For me, this is pretty definitive - Google doesn't care about librarians. I'm done with this subject now.

Well said. I've checked a few times over the past year and even wrote them a note about their plans about six months ago. Disappointing, but I think the only conclusion we can draw is the one you describe: Google doesn't care about us.

Well Happy Birthday to them but yes -- Google doesn't care about many people - like several corporate giants. :-/
