It certainly hurts their "brand" but it also hurts the Silicon Valley community in general when an organization that is well-known continues to send out blog posts that are at best overblown hype. I've stopped watching their blog for the most part and as it continues will probably skip it altogether. I just don't need unreliable sources.

But of course it does not mean all 10k people will be simply let go while to me these stories are simply a good indication of the fact that even Google needs to behave reasonably in a recession.

Props to you for pointing that out, and shame on WebGuild for posting what they likely know to be complete fabrications. And shame on Techmeme for still considering this shrill blog newsworthy Sure does seem to be spiteful hot air again from WebGuild.
