Are You Addicted To Google?
from the break-the-habit dept
An opinion piece from the BBC is wondering if people are addicted to Google. The premise is that Google searches are no longer as relevant as they used to be, and are increasingly cluttered with advertising. However, we all still use it everyday. In many cases, "searching the internet" and "Google" have become synonymous, and so the writer worries that we're all stuck on Google. There's a simple solution, of course: come up with a better search engine. Others are trying, and are probably thrilled with articles like this one.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Rather late in the year for the journalistic silly season, isn't it? If BBC tries a bit harder it might actually find something worth reporting.
