google @06:03 PM
tripp reminded me today about the recent web-debate over google. The link he sent me is here. I read a post a couple of days ago off the blog of Steven Johnson was in response to the criticism he received after the slate article was published. Don't be like me, and read the slate article, followed by the post.
most interesting line, I think (especially for our purposes, as the crux of the stuff we're doing is searching, filtering data, etc.):
"We're wrong to think of Google as a pure reference source. It's closer to a collectively authored op-ed page—filled with bias, polemics, and a skewed sense of proportion—than an encyclopedia."

Problem one: I do not know how to characterize the op-ed author of Google. It does not have a 'personality' that I understand.
Problem two: There are not enough alternatives to google, that I can even begin to feel the differences between styles.
OK, I posted my comment, now I had better go read the links.
