Google using meta description more?

[Rob]

Hi

I've noticed on a few sites that I work on that Google seems to be using the Meta description. These are generally large sites (greater than 10,000 pages) and they do have good relevant text on the pages, yet G is pulling the meta description.

Anyone else seeing this?

Yeah, I'm seeing the desc tag showing up more in google but its still mainly pulling the title from DMOZ which I don't like.

As GoogleGuy said elsewhere they are trying around with showing meta description and content snippets.

yup I've seen a lot more use of the META description in the past few days...glad we wrote nice ones :P

Still seeing mostly META Title vs DMOZ title in the cases where they are different...
