Interview With Nextag’s Jeff Katz: Google Needs To Be More Transparent, Provide Equal Access & A Level Playing Field | TechCrunch

Google quickly responded with a line-by-line criticism of Katz’s arguments. I had a chance to talk to Katz about his piece a little while ago and while he argued that he wasn’t so much interested in engaging in yet another back-and-forth argument with Google, we obviously did touch upon Google’s reaction to his piece.
