In defence of newspapers and serendipity
And your argument about publishing makes sense, but that's not the argument that Johnny Taylor was making in the articles I've read. That's what I was responding to.
In any case, thanks for the comment.
I think the idea of British results actually makes a fair amount of sense, and I wonder whether Google (or some other search site) actually does adjust its results based on the location of the user's IP. I mean, Google automatically sends me to google.ca when I'm on Canadian wifi--why shouldn't the results they give me be similarly sorted based on my location? Like I said, that seems very doable, and I wonder if anybody's already doing it (just without creating a startup that will never get much use).
sense, and I don't think location-based results should necessarily be
the default, but I'm sure google keeps track of use based on location
and could easily give users an option to search with location-biased
results. And that would be a lot more meaningful than trying to
acommodate the cultural diversity of an entire ethnicity.
