csberryGoogle is refusing to talk to CNET reporters for the next year:

CNET News.com's original story:

I have to laugh at this because CNET should be commended on how they illustrated the privacy concerns of Google's capabilities. If Google doesn't have a problem listing addresses and other items that concern privacy advocates, then the mention of items discovered while Googling the CEO's name for 30 minutes shouldn't bother them.
As a producer and even now that I'm out of talk radio, I use Google to do investigations. I look up potential customers, competitors, and partners using Google. Some items are as innocent as finding articles that cite the "target" but I've also discovered wedding pictures or discussion board entries of those that I'm seeking online. Sometimes I even have a little fun and see what I can find about me online (there are several other Cory Berry's though).
