I'm interested in:

Should Google notify specific users before it is doing major changes?

I was going trough the kylescove blog and I found out what I had suspected for a long time to be true! Google plays with their algorithm and it is doing a lot of damage!

You can read about these changes in the original post: “Google Keeps Tweaking Its Search Engine “ written by the New York times blog.

I think Google must notify specific users before it is doing major changes which might hurt there income; after all it is the most important service on the web.

What’s your opinion?

Well, a simple answer would be YES, of course YES and many times YES!!!

It should but it never will for one simple reason - each time waves of Google updates are reaching our shores we tend to react and each Google Dance generates a massive amount of buzz. Roughly four times a year all webmaster forums and blogs are swamped with laments and speculations - Google becomes the sole centre of attention. What more Google can wish for? This massive amount of free PR is too precious to give away.

The only situation I imagine is when Google would be so hard-pressed in its niche that it will simply be forced to be nicer to webmasters and disclose something that is until now a part of its strategical planning. If and when this happens it would only signify to me the beginning of Googles' decline.

I disagree with you. Google is a private service which has no official contract with its ordinary users. Google doesn't simply "play for fun" with its algorithm but rather tries to gradually improve it - for the benefit of the majority of its users (who are people searching for information), while some (mainly companies and business owners) might be damaged by it.

If Google notifies specific users before it is doing major changes - as you suggest - this very act would cast suspicion upon Google, as an interested company which develops its algorithm according to commercial interests of its beneficiaries rather than according to the interests of the ordinary information seekers.
