It's Official - Apple Kicking Google Out of iWorld

John Battelle's Searchblog

I' ve written extensively about iAds here and here , and one question I raised has to do with Apple's policies with regard to third party data and ad networks, in particular AdMob. As All Things Digital notes today , Apple this week "clarified" its policy with regard to third party networks, and it's hard to read it as anything other than a direct declaration of war with Google.

Steve Jobs at D: A Master.

John Battelle's Searchblog

and I mean that. Watching Jobs work his way through nearly 90 minutes of interview and audience questions , I really felt, for the first time, a sense of how strongly the guy feels for his work and his products. Then again, I found myself angry, several times. Angry when he championed the press as crucial to democracy, and implied the iPad would save our country from "descending into a nation of bloggers" (my view: we started as a nation of bloggers - pamphleteers like Thomas Paine).

I haven't yet seen a public, balanced list of reasons why you should be worrying about other problems. Here it is. For now, I'll concentrate on the central idea that open redirectors permit domain obfuscation and therefore facilitate phishing etc.

But think about what search really is, and I am certain, Apple will be in the search business. Why? Well, as I said in the last post on the iPad (and rather hurriedly, and entirely my fault, poorly communicated to many of those who left comments), it's all about the link.

Noise and dirt are essential to the web, but there's no reason why they have to overrun it.
