I heard a bit about the Google Press day the other day, and I have Matt Cutts blog posting marked to read over, as well Search Engine Watch’s coverage and links to browse across when I have time.

As I was scanning them though, I spotted a link to news.com’s coverage. Now it seems, unfortunately, that Google’s wireless network had problems on the day. However, Elinor Mills seems to think that was a particularly important part of the day, and felt the need to gripe about it. So, she spent the day at Google, and the most interesting thing she could thihnk to write about for her readers was about the wireless network being down?!

The Recent posts section doesn’t suggest she’s written anything more about the day. So well done Elinor, either you have a badly designed blog and I’m missing your other posts on the day, or you’ve spent a whole day at Google and come away with it with a moany story about their wireless being down (which from my point of view, with a tech support history is pretty typical).

Was that the best she could find to moan about? Or was Google’s press day really that bad?
From my previous experiences with cnet journalism, I’m guessing they just completely missed the real value of the day and completely mis-reported it….
