If you have been following any of the Google Page rank discussions on the various webmaster blogs and forums over the last couple weeks, then you know all the controversy going on.

I just noticed that PAW lost pagerank tonight as well. To be honest I really don't care, I don't sell links and I doubt it will affect any traffic.

I guess what confuses me is why someone as powerful as google that relies on their webmasters for a bulk of their income (Adsense, Adwords) would want to piss off hundreds of thousands of their customers with something as trivial as a pagerank bar.

I think the majority of webmasters are starting to put the pagerank bar in the same category as the alexa bar. This is sad.
