Exclamation Meet my Big Brother Google... oh, he has already met you!

A while ago I made a post about Google copying Yahoo. To update those of you who didn't get to see the post, the page that Yahoo made for their launch of the IE7 Toolbar launch was copied, graphic by graphic, and word per word, by Google. You can always read the original story.


Now something weird is going on...

1. When I tried to access the original blog post by Jeremy Zawodny, I noticed that the site was down.

2. When I tried to find the site in the GOOGLE CACHE, the site is there, but the image of Yahoo's design is missing.

3. Yahoo's cache shows all of the images.

It looks like the Yahoo Cache links directly to the images on Jeremy's site. Whereas the Yahoo Cache links to a copy.

No, what can this mean?

1. Why has Jeremy removed his site? (or in any case, why is it not longer accessible)

2. Why has Jeremy removed the image of the original Yahoo design from his site, but left the Google image.

3. Has Google influenced or pressured any of this?
