People keep repeating the mantra that Google search is dying - but I think it's more that many just haven't yet understood that communities of people are the small oases in an otherwise vast, noisy information space. Of course Reddit, Hacker News, and Stack Overflow are where many (in this community) are going to find the most relevant information - that's where the people are. I remember clearly when I switched to using Google in the early 2000's. It wasn't because they were so much better at searching the Internet - it's because they acquired the Usenet index. There was knowledge in Usenet archives that couldn't be found anywhere else - because that's where the people were.
