I think google is getting worse. Many of you will point out the tricks
needed to get useful results. That's what you used to have to do on
hotbot or altavista. Google used to "just work" -- you didn't have to
be extremely clever or think much to "do the right thing."
I think google has peaked. I honestly can't believe the world is
sitting around waiting for a search engine to IPO on the strength of its
"portal and soon to be coming email features, sure to find eyeballs! as
the the tech stock market soars."
Last year I started dropping hints that since people were apparently so
happy during the stock market bubble when they were fake millionares,
then we should make the poor dumb idiots happy again by just doing the
whole damn bubble again, just so they'd be happy dumb sheep and my pres.
George Bush would get reelected. I knew those idiots would fall for it
hook line and sinker again. I am a little disapointed in Bush for
raising interest rates -- I didn't think he'd let it get this far out of
hand again.
