Why We Desperately Need a New (and Better) Google
An obvious improvement to Google whose absence shocks the hell out of me would be this:<p>Personal domain blacklist.<p>There's a lot of spammy bullshit on the web and Google seems to have given up on keeping this away from me. Fine. But for my specific searches, there's usually a handful of offenders who, if I never, ever saw them again, it would improve my search experience by an order of magnitude.<p>So let me personalize search by blacklisting these clowns. Why can't I filter my search results so that when I search for a programming issue, I never see these assholes from "Efreedom" who scrape and republish Stack Overflow?<p>I don't, personally, need an algorithmic solution to spam. Just let me define spam for my personal searches and, for me, the problem is mostly solved.<p>(Also blacklisted: Yahoo Answers, Experts Exchange.)
