Did Google get Fortune managing editor Andrew Serwer to spike an October 19, 2007 blog post discussing the upcoming nuptuals of Google Inc. co-founder Larry Page to girlfriend Lucy Southworth?
Ordinarily such Internet gossip might be easily dismissed. But in this case the person asking the question is Peter Cohan, a contributor to BloggingStocks.com, which like Fortune is owned by Time Warner.
Cohan says it's clear that Serwer's post was available on line and then it disappeared, banished even from Google's cache. (He cites as his source another web site, Valleywag.) "Valleywag now suggests that the wedding could be held on Richard Branson's Necker Island," Cohan says. He asks readers to comment if they have any knowledge of why the Serwer piece was yanked. As of November 22, no reader has responded.
