Google recognizing _ (underscore) as a word separator? Better buy some new urls!

Check this out at seroundtable.

Per Barry, per google and Matt Cutts google is now (or soon to be) to recognize underscores like a - (hyphen). Both as a word separator.

Great news for domain sellers.

Wit agrees: I wish. But it would sure help give old school SEOs' underscored_page_URLs a boost
