An article in yesterday’s Times OpEd, discusses how search engines today are not making people much smarter. Citation analysis is the practice of judging the quality of an article by the number of times it’s cited in other articles. Putting its inherent ethics aside, Google works in a similar fashion by ranking websites by the number of links to the site. However, the results displayed have the opposite issue: they are too disperse. That is, irrelevant and sometimes nonsensical results are displayed side-by-side with relevant ones. Check out the article. It’s interesting.
