An interesting contribution to the blogosphere today, or rather to the blogosphere’s reflection upon and discussion about itself, with the publication of the UK Times Online article “The 50 best business blogs“.

Robyn Tippins is mystified about why Google has put a ban on her site. And evidently the system Google uses to inform people that their site has been banned does not include either an indication as to the reason for the banning, or a means of finding out.
