Comments on: Google Closure.. will you register your code with the Borg? http://www.johnon.com/715/google-closure.html I think there's an opinion on that subject lying around here somewhere....

Nice and simple. But, Google will probably want that to be binary, as in 1 you're in and 0, you're out. Yes, Google Points. Nice and simple.

And if I get 1 Google point for hosting my js on their servers, but my local files load faster than their overloaded js servers (refer to vague, non-descript, non-committal message from Matt about how 2010 being the year of the speedy site), will I lose 1 Google point, thus negating my original point? (Oh, and while I just made up Google points, I encourage you to spread my lies.) I suppose then it should be called “Google (dis)Closure”

So, I guess the theory is, "If we (G) can't keep up with js "innovations" then let's encourage the developers to work within the guidlelines of what we CAN read/see." To be frank, it's all getting a little too weird. Had an interesting dinner table discussion with a few mates last weekend that kicked off with the notion "What if Google broke one day?" Needless to say, these kind of stealth encroachments "in the interests of quality" make many people nervous. Do we really want a completely Google world? As always John, insightful and makes one slightly paranoid.

But thinking about Google's way of treating search engine results I must say that Your post seemed to be interesting and I read almost the whole of it.
