i guess the most interesting sentence of the day was that researchers on search engines and user behaviour operate mostly with data/statistics they can't check or re-check. they get it from few sources, mostly from search engine provider themselves.

benjamin edelman has been there, explaining a little bit more than the lawcases against google and yahoo's ad practice. dangerous keywords, organic and sponsored links" and the question what would happen, if you take search engines provider responsible for bad ads, ie that ask you to pay for skype 30$ ... well, i guess it will bring up a lot of lawyers, who try to increase their income and will end up with warning signs, compareable with what you get when you unpack your microwave.

a lot of google pashing, though. retrival effectivity and practice; somehow in between there were talks about - more or less - "stupid" users or use.

the case afp vs google revisited and the sentence from a guy from columbia university: algorithms have ethic ... it says a lot about the state journalism research is in. - or something like that.

kind of strange argument: if goole makes their revenue not with search but with their additional services=what they are known for must be bad. ?¿?
