I'm amazed that so much money is made off Google's advertising. It appears SO spammed by illegitimate websites with ads blatantly scraping your search terms:
Great deals on <search term> on eBay
Visit <your-search-term>-for-sale.com
and of course:
Get a great mortgage rate
Meet great singles in your area TONIGHT

And trying to search for product information only brings up acres of illegitimate Yahoo Stores, phoney review sites, and link-spam indexes/directories/searchengines.

Google, like all resources available to mankind, has been ravaged, strip mined, and left for dead. Thankfully, they restored Google Groups to its original functionality; for a while, its results were total crap. Oh well, at least Images is fun for the spatially inclined like myself.

The Information Trash Heap. You have to know where to look, because a search engine sure won't tell you. I should act on my idea to reinvent the directories of the early 90's; individual guys posting their list of trusted websites. Skip the irrelevant search results, browse my trusted directory.

Wow, that was a tangent........ maybe I'm burning out on Information Technology......
