I just saw this line in Timblog’s referer log:
https://www.google.com/evaluation/search/rating/task-edit?task=XXXXXX
The page gives a 403, saying that my Google account is not a member of "EWOQ". Has anyone else seen this? |
Timblog may have stumbled upon something good here. I've never seen this URL matched to other data people have provided in the past of Google's secret evaluation labs.
http://timjoh.com/google-evaluation-rating-projects/ |
Also known as "Google Eval" or "Rater Google Hub"
We was talking about that in June 2005. |
A slashdot story from June 2005 contains links to sites offering screenshots:

Ah, guess I'm a couple of years late, then. Especially since that slashdot article had a link to a post in webmasterworld, talking about this in 2003.
Thanks for updating me! |
And I forget to say "Thank you, Tim", because I didn't know the URL https://www.google.com/evaluation... ;) |
So Google no longer has the policy "Don't be Eval" :-) |
But you have to understand that Google Eval was revealed in '03-'04 with the URL eval.google.com ... TimBlog shows us that there is another URL that redirects to Google Eval and wasn't discussed or found before.
Tony Ruscoe, hopefully you can fire-up them monster scripts of yours and have them search for something deep within the new URL TimBlog found.
