Dear Dan Crow @ Google, you didn’t convince me. I doubt you can convince anyone at our side of the fence. I can’t support your initiative because there is no incentive. Kindest regards - Sebastian

I was wondering what I was supposed to use that thing for, glad I’m not the only one who finds it completely unnecessary.
sphunn for pointing out to all teh google PhDs the freaking obvious!!!!111!!!
Yup, its pretty useless.
Add my name to the list of people who think it’s useless.
yeh but its probaly a CYA from a legal perspective so the legal cases like the belgium newspares have less of a leg to stand on. Its so a Google lawyer can say "oh so you didt use the method we have to expire content from our cache - that we have widly publisized " some people need to think before commenting
I’m sure there is some really great potential for the tag. It’s just none of us have a need for it right now. Take, for example, when you buy your car without a cup holder. You didn’t think you would use it. But then, one day, you find yourself driving home with three cups of fruit punch and no cup holders. Doh! I say we wait it out for a while before we really jump on any conclusions about the tag.
Thanks for your thoughts. I’ve updated the page accordingly.
