My take on "there's too much crap online." My biggest search frustration is getting mostly commercial hits when I'm looking only for information. If there's a way to filter these out, I don't know about it. If there's not, there should be.http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/16/58539.aspx#58651Sat, 17 Feb 2007 02:06:55 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:58651Steve P, Fresno, CAI did read the commuter article the other day, and have been sharing it with everyone I can. As an elementary teacher, a parent, and a son, I found it very interesting, profound even. As for the relationship to our national identity, I think you could spin that argument in almost any direction. I will say, though, that IMO, we tend to look at problems that can't be solved by doing what we already know how to do (blowing things up) as unsolvable. We can't just blast the bejeebus out of Iraq- it's unsolvable. The environment may be screwed- nothing I can do about it. Somebody else will have to do it. http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/16/58539.aspx#58761Sat, 17 Feb 2007 05:21:02 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:58761scott Stockton CAIn response to Roger from Dallas on commercial vs informational hits I found it makes a difference which search engine you use. MSN gives more commerical while Yahoo gives more informational. Google seems in between. I like this as I can use different engines depending upon what I want. For example if I type in GUITAR PICKUPS then MSN gives me all commercial sites on the first page. By contrast Yahoo gives me 4 informational and 6 commercial. Google gives me 2 informational sites but one of the sites was not on the Yahoo site. ASK gave me 2 user forums in addition to commercial sites. So if I am shopping I use MSN, if I am learning I use Yahoo and if I am stuck I use Google or ASKhttp://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/16/58539.aspx#59163Sun, 18 Feb 2007 00:52:40 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:59163clint, bates city, moAbout being wise. Good link! How is someone referred to if he is both smart and wise? I truly do know a person who is both. Perhaps he is a "freak".http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/16/58539.aspx#59183Sun, 18 Feb 2007 01:39:41 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:59183LA Marlowe Richmond, VAThere is crapola a-plenty on the internet, no doubt. I see that as a good thing, because there invariably some pearls nestled between the floaters. Thank you, Will, for taking the time to point out the pearls when you find them. You provide a true service. One thing people seem to forget is that the .com was designed for commercial enterprise, so at the very least some invasive advertising is to be expected. I must admit though, that google's gmail sending me ads based on words I type in my emails is something I find worrisome. I still use gmail, and like it, but that concern niggles in the back of my brain somewhere. http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/16/58539.aspx#59338Sun, 18 Feb 2007 13:04:38 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:59338Thom, Grandville, MISteve from Fresno, "The environment may be screwed- nothing I can do about it. Somebody else will have to do it." If I felt that way then in my eyes, it would be you that had to do something about it. After all you would be somebody else, right? If everyone felt that way nothing would be done. Everybody would be "someone else." http://clicked.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/16/58539.aspx#60746Tue, 20 Feb 2007 16:28:42 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:60746Brian, Offut AFB, NEThom: I think that's exactly his point. Most people can't be bothered to change when surely SOMEONE else will do it.
