Google Foresakes Algorithm Based Search Engine Results

  • UK Register: “Google this week admitted that its staff will pick and choose what appears in its search results. It’s a historic statement – and nobody has yet grasped its significance. Not so very long ago, Google disclaimed responsibility for its search results by explaining that these were chosen by a computer algorithm.”
  • CNET: Does it matter if Google’s search results are fixed?: “Google wants its search results to become more pragmatic, not for any political, social or even intellectual reason. The company simply thinks it’s better for business. Advertising business. Most of us won’t notice or care and will continue to depend on Google because it’s so dominant, so fast, so very much our rolling dictionary of the world.”
