Google takes a step backwards
Here’s an odd bit that some PR guy just got a pat on the back for placing in the NY Times.
If you give this some thought, you may agree that it’s basically an admission by Google that their main “ranking” algorithm sucks.
Why isn’t “Google”Google’s “Wikipedia rival”?
But Google asserts that the Web’s development so far has neglected the importance of the bylined author.
Does the word, “blog” mean anything to you?
OK… blog entries aren’t exactly “articles”… usually.
Google wants the knols to develop into a deep repository of knowledge, covering topics such as geography, history and entertainment.
… because Google itself is not a good place to go and search for “geography”? I suppose if you try that you’ll get sent to… About.com…then Wikipedia.
Hmm… maybe it’s a step forward after all… if Google’s strategy is to compete head to head with all of the sites that are most returned in their own search results?

Competition is good and I hope Google has some good competition. Consumers can only benefit.
