President Obama's Healthcare Speech Deserves Better Search
A string of comments to well known author and search analytics guru, Avinash Kaushik, concerning the difficulty of finding relevant and up to date information from the major search engines left much to be desired. In particular, people were responding the Obama's Healthcare speach - attempting to get to a site or video of the speech to no avail. As I mentioned in the response comments to Avinash, there truly is a problem linking the value percieved from what users want and the timing from which other mediums bring important topics to light - including mainstream media, to the web. Don't get me wrong, Algorythms have come along way and help to reduce blatant spam, along with some innocent bystanders, however, I'd like to stay on the positive side and say that perhaps this just means we have much work to do on all fronts as SEO's, users, search engines and businesses - to get data in all of it's presentable forms up to par.
