(Well, more so than he usually is.... :-) I agree, this is a very valid complaint. The sheer vastness of content available, combined with a Google monoculture, combined with a concerted attempt to GAME the Google monoculture, is making search and discovery hard. I honestly don't know what to do about it. I don't have a better idea, unless we go back to something like a directory-style curated experience, a-la Yahoo! circa 1998-ish. Not that that doesn't have it's own horrible problems, of course. > Noel -Seth
