Googling for Appliances
Paul Kedrosky (via John Gruber):
Pages and pages of Google results that are just, for practical purposes, advertisements in the loose guise of articles, original or re-purposed. It hearkens back to the dark days of 1999, before Google arrived, when search had become largely useless, with results completely overwhelmed by spam and info-clutter.
It’s interesting how Google is dynamite in many areas but almost useless in others. Search is a hard problem.

Yup. Spam is entropy in the realm of search.
