I often think it might be hard for younger people who don't remember pre-Google days to imagine just how it revolutionized things by giving results that were actually helpful! I remember someone outrageously talking about the 'Google Effect' whereby it was for the first time easier to type in a word to Google than know the URL. Gone were the days of sales catalogues entries being the frst 10 results.
Well, is it just me or has Google gone downhill in the last three weeks or so? For the first time in over 10 years I find myself bemoaning the amount of crap from a limited range of websites near the top of results. Dominated by not very good websites, news scrapers and 'e-hub', 'e-how' and the like.
Is it just me or has something changed?
