For me, it's too little too late. I know a lot of people who have already moved to different search engines. Google lost a ton of money in the process. They didn't help themselves any when it was revealed JC Penny had successfully gamed Google for almost an entire year - and Google had no idea until the NY Times broke the story.
- trezor 16y agoWhile I don't agree with the opinion expressed or the tone it is expressed in, I do think the JC Penny story sound interesting. Personally not having heard of it before, I think this comment (accidentally?) contributes somewhat to the discussion. Has HN really become this trigger-happy on the downvotes?
- weego 16y agoYou may well know a lot, but I bet 100% of them are serious tech interest people which accounts for a tiny tiny % of the internet. You could argue that tech people drive the trends that spread out to the masses but in this case I think it's just bashing the big guy cos he's an easy target. The idea that most people really care about the purity of their search results, let alone would understand what all this means even if the BBC or NYT ran a proper article is just unrealistic.
