You may have wondered - which is stronger "love" or "hate". At least in terms of Search engines the jury is very much IN and the results are clear - L-O-V-E triumphs by a significant margin. If you'd like to try this for yourself you can save some time (perhaps as much a 0.5 seconds) if you search both Google and Yahoo simultaneously using the new Frankestein site GahooYoogle.
The bottom-line here (please God let there be some point to this rant) is that "keywords" can be pretty darned misleading when used to navigate large document set. Let's be honest here - a BILLION results! Really what's the point? Even if you were so inclined you'd never get through them in a lifetime.
Even more upsetting though is that within the top-10 results for "hate" we find "Stop the Hate" which, under the premise of our test, should surely be in the "love" column. There's got to be a better way - and there is! It's called the semantic web.
Don't settle for half measures - let's make these great information resources add up to something intelligent other than just a massive stack of keyword results.
