+1 on parker, google is past tense
so, from what I have read - I am totally in accord with the concept that google is past tense - as parker seemed to suggest here
same theme, but my reasoning/phrasing - from an old blog-post, is a bit different.
the value of information is based on probability — google can only now support highly probable answers, static search results. The capital of Colorado used to be a relatively more improbable answer than it is now
— Facebook and Twitter are pipes for the improbable.
I’m not smart enough to understand this. Pipes for the improbable? Please help. How is the capital of Colorado an improbable answer?
