hizook and google

I recently found out about Hizook – a robotics news aggregator.

I found out from this story that was posted to Hacker News. It seems that Google thought their traffic spike was anomalous, and disabled their Adsense account without warning.

Thankfully it was re-enabled a few days later, but it does undermine some confidence in Google’s claim to “Do no evil”.

    I should note that Hizook is not really a news aggregator; it is an original content creator. Hizook’s goal is to create a place for academics and professionals in the robotics field to have intelligent, targeted discussions.

    Thanks, Travis, for that correction – I misunderstood how the site works.

    I still love following it, though!
