Google Says Do Not Duplicate Your Meta Descriptions

Googles head of search spam, Matt Cutts, has released a video expressing the need for unique meta descriptions with in your website pages. His message is clear – do not have duplicate meta descriptions on your website.

He even stated that it was better to have unique  meta descriptions or even no meta descriptions at all rather than duplications.
