Just so people know. Just predicting what this is is not my only intention. I keep seeing members of the tech community dumping nearly every new idea or iteration the moment they first see it and I think as people who call themselves tech enthusiasts that's a real dumb thing to do. You can't progress without change, you can't change without trying and trying means experiments.
Being part of the tech world means being part of the fastest evolving community and the one that gives room for all further innovation in nearly every other sector.
My biggest purpose in doing this is to try and show that given an apparent lemon, how you can try and make lemonade out of it, or rather how to try and build up on what's available for you rather than always wanting to stay in one's comfort zone.
One point about arranging results. Google power users only. And Google would have an algorithm being modified to suit your interests. If crowd sourcing doesn't work, if friend recommendations don't work because of the noise then your obvious best choice would be to have an algorithm work the way the user wants it to work. And how do you do that if the user can't tell what he/she wants. Hence the rearranging of results which is the user saying "No Google, I kind of like official pages more than blog posts" (or vice versa).
PS - Thanks a lot to the great HN community which sent the traffic soaring through my blog. I'm trying to score a position as a professional tech blogger eventually and this sort of stuff gives me a lot of motivation to keep at it.
