A real eye-opener!

The UK taxpayer's money well spent ;-)

@JohannesvandenHeuvel Mr Riley is a legend, if only all television was this insightful.

One interesting alternative to Google is Yacy. It's a decentralized, distributed search engine...sort of like BitTorrent, but with search results. Instead of all the spidering data and hash tables being stored in some central corporate servers, it's spread over everyone's computers, and you connect with the other people in the network to act as one giant computer.

@vincent7487 Well, there is still PBS and NPR in the United States.

Information surveillance ... welcome to web, flies. A meme to propagate = Adverticide.

@JohannesvandenHeuvel do you mean with the taxi ride? 85 dollars? :)

Only the BBC would do this, without the incentives to advertise and make money on its channels, shows the bare truth

@lost4468yt - contd, go back to Boolean searches like they used to, like all search engines used to, and get rid of the type of indexing that throws up pages based on others searches, or your own previous searches (unless you specificy you want that) - obviously the time in which you get a response in, add in the latency from the network itself, it's obviously not searching very much of the internet (or the index caches) at all.

@lost4468yt - did it? What did they do, searchbot and index a small amount of the internet, and then just build up adding new servers - I take it it started as a Beowolf type of cluster idea then?

Thing is, it wasn't til Google started doing adverts that they were taking in money though, right? & by that time they'd built up a large cluster - meaning they'd have had to address power concerns too, you can't just keep adding more nodes to usual wall outlets.

They should go back to Boolean search

@MannySteinerBIeeky Google started with about 3 computers.
