Kinderstart stopped in its tracks
Found on The Register on Saturday, 15 July 2006
A US judge has sent Kinderstart back to the drawing board, after dismissing the education website's anti-trust lawsuit against Google.
Kinderstart filed its suit in March after Google changed the way it ranked sites on its web search and advertising system. Allegedly, these changes led to 70 per cent drop in traffic to the site in 2005, when its ranking was changed to "zero".
It accused Google of "pervasive monopolistic practices" that denied its free speech rights, destroyed competition, and led to predatory pricing conditions.
Kinderstart attorneys are now seeking other companies who are aggrieved about Google's rankings to join Kinderstart in a class action suit.
So your cunning plan failed, and now you're trying to lure others into court for support? Everybody who relies on an up-and-down concept like Google's ranking results should instantly quit his job.
