Is Facebook killing Google softly? - A studyJune 23rd, 2009 Before people feel obnoxious about the rather ambitious title this article ventures through, I must put you to peace by this self-quote:
Behind every successful machine, there is a human, always watching. I know you are lost in the mazes of correlating it to the title but, a well researched article from Wired may help you realize what seems to be less convincing unless you see the real objective in the future.

I think that’s just an artifact of the tool that you’re using to determine the PageRank. The *visible* PageRank (as seen in Google ToolBar and such) relies on a static dataset that is only updated once every few months.
According to http://www.mcdar.net/q-check/datatool.asp the last ToolBar PR data update was January 1st. Since the article that you mentioned is less than a week old, it wouldn’t appear in the ToolBar PR data.
If you do a Google for “braindead finder behavior”, Matt’s page comes up as the #1 result, so that page does actually have pretty good PageRank.

I have seen the same thing. However, it is not just blogs. It is ecommerce sites too (including amazon and my employer, magazines.com).
I think this is just that PageRank is not SiteRank but rather on a per-page basis. I don’t follow this as closely as I used to though.

Interesting site - found you through Bloglet.
Anyway, Google can take 4-12 weeks to give a newly created page a PR. It is assigned on a page by page basis, so PR for a generic site’s home page is typically larger than the PR for the rest of the site.
By way of example (and I hope I don’t get accused of comment spam here):
My home page http://www.open.com has a PR 7
My April blog http://www.open.com/blogs/2005_04_01_archives.jsp archives has no PR yet
March blog http://www.open.com/blogs/2005_03_01_archives.jsp has PR 4
All the permalink pages under March have PR of 3, none of the ones in April do yet. I’m guessing they’ll end up with a PR 3 too. I expect that PR will show up for April postings sometime in the next 2 weeks.
FWIW
