The OG Social Network: Other People’s Websites
Does Google really want to achieve their stated mission?<p>I would like to see Search Engine Optimization ended with extreme prejudice.<p>No search engines are immune, but Goog is the epitome of of SEO taking over the first few pages, destroying the &quot;information&quot; that they want to make &quot;universally accessible and useful&quot;.<p>I am also seeing search results where the first few pages are all auto-generated articles, SEO optimized.  The content is gibberish, incomprehensible word salad. But, it is long enough, linked enough, and my keyword and synonyms appear sufficiently enough to show up in my search.<p>Google Reader dying was a sad day indeed.  So was usenet dying was a sad day. So was the town square post board, and before that the town crier.<p>These are not blocking Goog to achieve their stated mission.  It is stating such mission, but not doing anything to achieve it.<p>Talk is cheap.
