B2B Tip #89 - Google's Trippin' Again
.
In its never-ending quest to dominate all things animal, vegetable, and mineral (and living or dead) - Google is once again tightening its noose around the skinny neck of the 'searching' world.
Apparently the steroid / LSD / oxycontin cocktails are flowing freely from the Google water cooler again ...
... and the straight jacket is back from the dry cleaners.
According to Jason Miller at WebProNews, Google just filed another patent - this one aimed at so over-analyzing news sources that it will exclude many, many news sources to which we currently have access in the search results we receive from Google.
Personally, I don't trust any of the search engines because they each employ a form of institutional censorship (well - how did you think they got the specific results they show you?).
This is why, when I'm serious about really getting to the bottom of something, I typically use more than one search engine and/or a meta SE like WebFerret, because I want to see the so-called 'opinions' from more than one 'source.'
In other words, every SE provides, in a sense, its own form of propaganda. Why? It only shows us what it wants us to see or the stuff people have paid to have force-fed to us.
You decide.
For some deceived reason, most people see search engines as some sort of benevolent entity sitting gently out in a cyberspace rocking chair somewhere just waiting to serve us perfectly accurate and unbiased content from its musty, dusty set of trusted reference books ... like some sweet old white-bearded, Santa-Claus-looking Granddaddy.
Get real.
Is that really the highest and best use of a search engine if YOU are the SE company?
NO - and we the users of such tools need to fully understand that the SE 'universe' is developing just like the commercial TV business model. Watch the analogies yourself.
The longer we go along, the more search engines become commercial generators instead of relevant content generators.
Do you really trust that business model? Do you believe everything you see on TV?
You decide.
