Any of you heard anything about this?

Google, Altavista and starting november 20 all Inktomi based Search engines will start to completely ignore the meta tags.

where did you see that?
recources?

I thought meta tags were a very important factor in search engines.

google has been ignoring meta tags for ages

Seems like you're a few years out of date. Meta tags don't really influence a pages rank much anymore. Most search engines stopped paying attention to them a couple of years ago. I also doubt that all 3 of those engines you mentioned would all change on the same day.

Anyways if you're looking for search engine info, check out the following two sites:
