Marissa Meyer: just don't call her 'Googirl'

When you effectively control the world's search engines, I guess you'd be tempted to exert a little of that control if you think your own image is at stake. But hey - that doesn't make it right.

Those eagle-eyed Valleywaggers have spotted that San Francisco Magazine's 13-page special on Marissa Meyer - currently splashing her as 'Googirl' on 115,000 dead-tree copies around the city - has mysteriously vanished from the web.

The magazine's website says that page does not exist, and now labels the story as the rather less cutesy 'adventures of Marissa'.

C'mon - is Google really that control freakish? I guess so.
