At least the gaming has finally been noticed.
I don't dismiss PageRank because it is a neat
approach to bottom-up indexing, but without
some vetting and classification of the content
being linked itself, the value is statistical
and easily fooled. Anyway, it points out the
problems of using search as a semantic web
generator.
I liked this comment from "jeremy":
"The act of Google trying to "understand" the web caused the web itself to
change."
Fits nicely with the feedback mediated adaptation
case made in the Beyond Ontologies thread. Perhaps
the really non-linear aspects of the system will
be investigated.

"Google buys search engine - PageRank(tm) RIP?"
[Typical overstated Reg headline, and it features
Andrew Orlowski's obligatory blogger-taunting, but the
article is closely related to recent discussions here.

'Google isn't too proud to acquire external search
technologies, and earlier this year bought Applied
Semantics for its CIRCA ontology, which "understands,
organizes, and extracts knowledge from websites and
information repositories in a way that mimics human
thought". '
