Last Thursday, Chris Nolan, an assistant university librarian, came to our class and enlightened us about the nature of search engines, like Google. The new and interesting thing I found out was that Google changed its algorithm when certain websites that show up on the first page are not as professional or reliable. According to Chris Nolan, Google demoted ehow.com because the information contained was not necessarily reliable or trustworthy. I guess the most shocking thing that he told was the Martin Luther King website. It shows the lack of explicit censorship for profanity, obscenity and racist content in some radical websites, therefore it is extremely unconventional.
