Poll About Google

How effective is Google personalized search?
57% say There's no difference, or it's worse!

Just under half (48%) of respondents in this week's R/WW poll haven't noticed any difference in their Google search results. Only 12% have seen an improvement, but perhaps of more concern is that 9% say their search results have gotten worse!"


Google isn't always the best search choice
"The technology used to figure out what pages people want to see also helps companies calculate what products people might want to buy, and therefore what ads to display for them. Do you really want one company controlling that show?


Google should stop displaying toolbar PR (discussion)
"Enough is enough. Can't the folks in Mountain View see that this situation is nowhere near honorable or 'entertaining'?
Since it seems that up-to-date and accurate PageRank reporting is an extremely unlikely step for Google to take, I think the time has come for them to stop reporting ANY green fairy dust at all. Keep it as part of the secret sauce, sure, but stop teasing the public at large with funny numbers."
