Google follow MSNs lead and incorporate a no-odp meta tag.

This tag will tell search engines not to display the ODP description - which is often laughable and virtually impossible to get changed - in the SERP results. To direct all search engines that support the meta tag not to use ODP information for the page’s description, webmasters can now use the following:

meta content=”NOODP” name=”ROBOTS”

There will be much rejoicing all around, I’m sure.
