Calishat: Digging Out From The Deluge of AI News And Turning It Into Another Newsletter. “For the last few months assembling ResearchBuzz has been increasingly frustrating. AI news was crowding out most of the other categories and I felt like the newsletter itself was getting much too AI-heavy. Things finally came to a head when I found myself with a 6200-item RSS backlog and 50 articles in my […]

Twitter is only getting worse, Google’s search engine is filling up with infosewage.

At this point I’ve been writing about search engines for almost 30 years and I’m discouraged. It seems to be more and more about giving the shareholders dollars and selling advertising than it is helping people find things.

Was it always that way? Possibly but not this baldly.

We are surrounded by endless authoritative structures — FCC license databases, local business license records, secretary of state business filings, local government resource lists — and they are so rarely applied when we’re searching for real, true information.

Why?
There are structured resource lists available from places like Wikipedia that we could apply to our general Web searches.
We don’t.
