Since both tennis and table tennis are in the Olympics, perhaps you're wondering: if there's
soccer, why not "table soccer?" Of course, we know table soccer by another name; and while
foosball may not be an Olympic sport, we still cheered
Nathan Johns
and Jan Backes—two members of
our Search Quality team—as they brought home the foosball silver medal at the
search engine foosball smackdown
at SES San Jose.
"Smackdown" doesn't quite equate to "Olympics," but check out the intensity—you could hear a
pin drop!
Just to be sure they weren't ringers, I quizzed Daniel and Jake, "How can you prevent a file from
being crawled?" They correctly answered,
"robots.txt."
Gold cup well deserved.
