@IncomeTaxIndia I applied for a TRC (Tax Residency Certificate) under Form 42. I need the certificate because I work with foreign clients as a freelancer, and they require TRC as proof of my residency.
Acknowledgement no: 870451710150526 - I wrote an email to the ITO twice, but they've not processed my request yet.
As a law-abiding citizen and somebody who always pays tax on time, the least I expect from the Income Tax Department is responsive support.
Can you please look into it?
I've a better idea. If a user has selected a site as preferred source, they should hide the AIO (or push it down) and surface the preferred source as the first result.
That would help you better decide the phone you'd like to buy, no?
of course, Google wouldn't do that because it's REALLY just PR at the end of the day.
Indeed, it's not going to move the needle for publishers.
Google is silently rewriting user behavior, and these features are nothing but their attempt to sound less evil and to talk about these features when anyone argues with executives that Google does not care about the open web.
If they truly care about publishers, they'll reduce AIO to 100 words, and stop sending users to AI mode.
@rustybrick@glenngabe one of my favorite posts by Glenn is about favicon. Glenn's blog is my preferred source, but why would I click on it when AIO simply answes everything? The preferred sources in AIO/AI mode is simply a PR move.
@rustybrick@glenngabe indeed. it's really nothing to celebrate. it's not going to bring any clicks. Google is simply trying to sound less evil.
Google AIO will only send traffic to sites if they reduce the content to a single paragraph.
