This issue

The Google / Blog People article was very well written. It was part of that rare 10%. And as an aside, I am always happy when my favorite author Theodore Sturgeon, gets a mention.

google's evolution over time

Do you have any articles or data or examples to support your belief that "Google’s results aren’t as focused now as they were when the index had a mere billion or two documents"?

Re:google's evolution over time

Only my own experience. I haven't attempted to quantify it: I'm not claiming it as Truth, and I'm not putting it in a scholarly article. Based on my own searching ever since Google jumped to 4 billion documents, I find that it's rarer and rarer for the site I'm looking for to be #1, or even in the top five. YMMV, of course.
