Tribune blames Google for UAL bankruptcy story

Tribune Co on Wednesday blamed technology owned by search engine company Google for treating an outdated story about UAL Corp's bankruptcy as current, breaking news. Tribune said in a press release it had identified problems with Google's "Googlebot" technology months ago and asked the company to stop using it to "crawl" for stories on its website. The Chicago-based publisher said it believes Google continued using the technology to identify stories and make them available as search results on its Google News site, and that Google continues to misclassify stories.
