-I would never start without an inspiration from the comment_ on my previous post on the theme of locked down nature of Google Groups.
+I would never start without an inspiration from the comment_ by Sean Hogan on my previous post on the theme of locked down nature of Google Groups:
+
+ At least google-groups appears to follow google's own advice on making AJAX sites accessible to the google web-crawler. See https://developers.google.com/webmasters/ajax-crawling/docs/getting-started
+
+ So for me,
+ http://groups.google.com/d/forum/jbrout:FBv1oMXRZkxB6YShaFuNHc3-Moc&cuid=3654582
+ redirects (eventually) to
+ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/jbrout
+ which can be viewed in raw HTML as
+ https://groups.google.com/forum/?_escaped_fragment_=forum/jbrout
+
+ Google Groups seems a perfect use-case for extreme-progressive-enhancement, but what would I know.
+
+ regards,
+ Sean
