TrustRank Server

I was just reading this article about Google’s new anti-phishing toolbar. As any web developer would do when he sees this:

GET /safebrowsing/lookup?sourceid=firefox-antiphish&features=TrustRank&client=navclient-auto-ape&q=http%3A%2F%2Fcnn.com%2F HTTP/1.1
Host: www.google.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,
text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
Keep-Alive: 300
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive

I decided to try it out. Nothing interesting happened really, except this:

Server: TrustRank Frontend

    It’s unlikely they’d have two different products with the same name isn’t it?
