"The search engine mentioned in the article-and one I've been toying =
with-is
Teoma (www.teoma.com), ironically now owned by Ask Jeeves. It often
outperforms Google in accuracy and in putting exactly what you want at =
the
top of the results list.=20
*****Some of this may have to do with Google's abandonment of its =
ranking
methodology because of the emergence of redundant cross-linking, which =
is
something many outsiders blame on nearly 5 million slaphappy bloggers =
and
their so-called blogrolls.*********
The continued advantage of Google over the competition, though, is the
Google Web cache. It's amazing how many pages are off-line but still
available in the Google cache. Unless a new engine comes along and
duplicates this feature, there's no way Google can not stay on top of =
this
game."

Subject: [yshavurah] JewWatch
I heard an interesting segment on NPR this morning about how Google
prioritizes web sites. Sites are sorted by the number of other web sites
which reference or link to a particular site. So JewWatch comes up first
because it is referenced or linked to by the most other web sites. If =
you
google "jewwatch" and look at the web sites which are listed, many of =
them
(maybe the majority of them) are not anti-semitic. They are =
anti-jewwatch.
Its ironic that the act of holding jewwatch up as something to be =
contained
and reviled is exactly what has brought it to the top of google's search
results.=20
