Or quite literally if I go by a dictionary: an act of kindness beyond what is due or usual. Example: "I've come to ask you a favor". Synonyms: service, good turn, good deed, kindness, act of kindness, courtesy.
To further elaborate to address your failure to understand a semantic line of argument:
1) The terms Favor and Bribery are not interchangeable.
2) I have only used the word favor.
3) I have insinuated[1] that there is possibility[2] of an alleged[3] favor having occurred in expediting[4] the re-listing of RapGenius, and that this may have happened due to good connections from the VCs.
4) If true, this is not in any way illegal, by the law of the land (as opposed to bribery[6], which is illegal). And this would simply be a moral wrong doing to others who cannot use this speedy service based. This is due to the position of power Google has on web start-ups, websites and businesses.
5) In addressing your previous comment I stated that none of my statements can or should be construed[5] as referring to bribes or any thing of monetary value, this includes gifts.
Meanings and Definitions:
[0] Favor - an act of kindness beyond what is due or usual
[1] Insinuate - suggest or hint (something bad or reprehensible) in an indirect and unpleasant way
[2] Possibility - a thing that may happen or be the case
[3] Allege - claim or assert that someone has done something illegal or wrong, typically without proof that this is the case
[4] Expedite - make (an action or process) happen sooner or be accomplished more quickly
[5] Construe - interpret (a word or action) in a particular way
[6] Bribe - a sum of money or other inducement offered or given in this way
You missed my point again. The semantic line of argument is pointless. Favor and bribery are interchangeable because my argument holds for either case.
