Doc points to some comments from Rick Segal on the supposed non-inclusiveness of Google:

Is there a darling/honeymoon/pariah meeter?  I think somebody should do a chart over time of various big time companies. I think if you did this chart, you will find Google setting the record for going from darling of the industry to monopolistic evil empire faster then most.  Can¹t wait to watch the movie of Eric throwing a chair.

This is all in relation to a meeting Google held where they invited some people and left others off the list - and asked those attending not to blog about what happened. Apparently, the entire concept of "off the record" is just way, way too hard for some members of the blogosphere. Did it ever occur to these people that a company - any company - might want to float a few trial balloons with some trusted (i.e., not utter whiners) people, and see how they might float?

Not everything needs to take place in public. Not everything needs to be "on the record". Sometimes, a private meeting is just a private meeting. Sheesh people, grow up.
