From my feed reader:
Rich Skrenta weighs in with a riff on how PageRank ruined the web. It certainly made people into mindless, fawning link buyers. :( And Rich is absolutely right. A $200 billion company can hardly expect us to go around poking their garbage. Get a better algorithm, don't complain about bought links, which should have been predictable and could have been predicted by any junior economist analyzing the claim that a link had value because it was a "vote" for a page. They have had eight years to think of a way to stop the process of making a gray or black marketplace for such value. Jawboning ain't gonna do it.
For another big idea every couple of weeks, if you haven't already, check out Malcolm Gladwell's blog.
