Google won’t comment on a potentially massive leak of its search algorithm documentation (www.theverge.com)

A purported leak of 2,500 pages of internal documentation from Google sheds light on how Search, the most powerful arbiter of the internet, operates.

The leaked documents touch on topics like what kind of data Google collects and uses, which sites Google elevates for sensitive topics like elections, how Google handles small websites, and more. Some information in the documents appears to be in conflict with public statements by Google representatives, according to Fishkin and King.

Uh...I know we're all just having fun here, but I need to be part of a webring again. If anyone is more than joking, I kinda need to know about it. Thanks.

Seriously? Cool. I'm going to go do some research then. And maybe entirely change the purpose of my blog, just to fit into one...

Neocities is trying to be a modern reincarnation https://neocities.org/

Yahoo patiently plotting its return from Japan.

I'm so ready for something like this. I've cleaned up my bookmarks and been waiting for alternatives to search engines.
