Bitter About Google Algorithms

I thought some people in this group may find this interesting.

....

The very core of these remains PageRank ? a mechanism that often gets
misused and leads to disasters (referrer spam among other link spamming
techniques). For my recent zombie attacks I blame:

* Google - for unintentionally leading to ?link greed?, not
understanding or anticipating streetsmarts and penetration of second- and
third-world countries into the Internet

....

One may begin to conceive a Google killer rather than a Windows killer. The
required resources, however, in particular data centres, make the
(financial) entry barrier too high to initiate a substantial enough threat.
Proprietaries, however, are no concrete barrier, in contrary to the case
with operating systems.

....

Faithfully,

Roy

Is 3 years not enough time to capitalise the "i"'s?

Doesn't have to be that big a barrier.
You could try a totally different approach; 'SEO@HOME', 'P2PSEO' or even
a combination of both.

That would bring a whole new load of problems, but it would take away
the need for a lot of resources.

So... who here knows Python ?

I'll have a look, thanks.

Why Python? Because Brin used it? Speaking of which, I heard about Python on
Rails some days ago. I can't recall if it simply hit the Slashdot front
page...

Python is open source.
That's my only reason.

Well, true as far as the commenter and their comments go. I use nofollow to
drain life out of links that serve the aims of /the/ monopoly, as well as
those that lead to duplicate content (e.g. corresponding printer-friendly
and PDF versions).

Regardless, I see more and more sites that begin to realise the moral issues
with nofollow and reverse the out-of-the-box traits of their CMS as to
respect and accredit all links. Also, disdain for backlinks-based engines
is growing, much like the recent wide-spread realisation of proprietary
formats and their damage (c/f Massachusetts versus Office). Subsequently,
you hear more ranks about the current state-of-affair among crawlers,
sponsored search tools, etc. etc.

I am beginning to see more referrals from Scroogle...

Mind you, SE@HOME and P2P-SE are things I made up

SETI@home is the first thing that arose in my head. Sounded dubious - Search
Engine at Home and Peer to Peer Search Engine...

Speaking of SETI@home, here is an analogy I made up a few days ago and
tossed in a text file:

Running anti-virus/spyware/malware is much like running SETI@home, thus
seeking extra terrestrial life. It only drains your CPU in vain. If your
operating system is sufficiently flawed and requires add-on protection,
consider alternatives.

It does not prevent it from being used for evil purposes. I will say no
more, just keyworks instead: google.com, mozilla.com, wordpress.com(?),
DMOZ(?)...
