Critique of Google

From Slate, Digging for Googleholes, ends with the following paragraph:

  • “We’re wrong to think of Google as a pure reference source. It’s closer to a collectively authored op-ed page — filled with bias, polemics, and a skewed sense of proportion — than an encyclopedia. It’s still the connected world’s most dazzling place to visit, a perfect condensation of the Web’s wider anarchy. Just don’t call it an oracle.
