OT Searching Usenet
I was watching a documentary called "Download: The True Story of the
Internet:" One of the shows is about search, and Google has made
quite a few dollars by showing ads on their search page. It seems
that people are willing to pay big bucks for ads.
I just wonder how may advertisers are unhappy since Google search has
ruined Usenet searches. As I have quit using Google to search Usenet,
my hits have dropped significantly. I can only hope that the hits
drop so low as to cause Google to go back to being useful.
Google has changed from enormously valuable search tool to a useless
piece of crap.
