Here's a link to a SciAm article that talks about Google:

The clean interface won't last

[www.thefish.com]

Sure, they just launched the engine now, and they don't have clutter, or banner ads, or other cross-selling junk, but it won't last.

We had a local radio station that went commercial-free for months just to bolster its listener base. They, of course, started advertising because someone's gotta' pay the bills.

At Google, just like everywhere else, something has to pay the bills. The clutter will come, it's a fact.

Linux Search

[Octos]

Did anyone find the Linux search? I think the idea of seperate search engines for different content categories is the way to go for the future. There's so much crap and conflicts of context that it chokes the relevant information lower on the results set.
