Kottke Errors and Sightings

Authored by Michael Pate on August 15th, 2003 at 10:07 PM

The concept that you can thrown in a couple of words and get an instant and qualified set of pages on which are found the absolute most relevant quotes possible for a subject is bound for failure by the very nature and definition of what Google is about. If you search inadequately, you will get inadequate results in Google. If anyone has inadequate ideas about what Google gives as results, then the information you obtain will be inadequate. An examination of Jason’s proof, once deconstructed, can be seen as little more than a list of links to Google searches - they proove nothing about Google. What I am concerned about is that if enough people throws this stuff around — that Google is broken — people will start believing it soon — and right at the moment no one can afford to have Google cobbled at the knees as it is the best we got. - Microdoc News

I’m positive that I saw Jason Kottke waiting for a train in the subway this morning. If I hadn’t been trying to hurry along my staff to the first day of RA training, I totally would have stopped and asked for his autograph. - Matt Kingston
