With all due respect to... oh, whomever the hell thinks they deserve some: aren't we big enough to get a little special handling from Google? I should think that if we have a page get cached that's either been vandalised or in some other way exposes us to liability, that as big as we are, and as many high ranked search results as we return on Google (we're often the top hit, and *very* often in the top 20), perhaps we might be able to access some *slightly* more prompt deindexing facility? At least for, say, our top 10 administators?
They've provided a reasonable API, "put something on the page that you want deindexed and tell them to visit it".. I don't know what more we could ask for since anything else would have to have some complex authentication system.. using metatags in the page avoids that problem nicely. .. We just need to support the API.
