Google: Dinosaurs Lived With Humans?
Google is in hot water for the reliability of its search results this morning. This story will probably have a very short shelf life. It turns out that if you ask the question “What happened to the dinosaurs?” the very first result you got was this:
This has sparked an outcry from the science community and several people have posted about it. Of course, this has changed in the intervening time. Now when you do the search, you get hits from people asking why Google is giving out this kind of information. This hit the airwaves at least sixteen hours ago and Google has yet to adjust its search results, however. The top result, after the “in the news” story, is still the one from Ken Ham's organization. Greg Laden suggests that people use the feedback link to tell Google that their results are unreliable by using the “Feedback” button but I saw no such button next to the results. I will be curious to see what this looks like a day from now. He writes:
I’ve never, for one moment, gone along with the idea that Google can pull off a better, more reliable search based on the Google view of what sites are more reliable. My position on this has annoyed many of my colleagues. The promise of the Internet being less bogus and more educational is attractive. But it is a siren call. Regarding this particular issue I’ll claim the role of Galileo until proven otherwise.

Maybe they even now live with the people, but as reptiles.
