Google's Brian White On Android Bat Phone

Some of you probably don't know Brian White, but he has worked at Google for almost 12 years in the web spam team, with Matt Cutts. He was pre-IPO days and he scares me more than Matt Cutts. :-)

Last week he posted a picture of himself on Twitter in response to WebDesign.org selling links, where he wrote "I'm ready to talk about link building! Conference me in!" Now that would freak me out beyond belief.

You do not want to get on Brian White's radar, ever. It is most likely worse than getting on Matt's radar.

Here is his tweet:

Yes, Brian is using an Android cookie jar as a pretend bat-phone. Thing is, Android phones are about that size these days. :)
