I think page rank will be the next thing to go. Without a complete monthly crawl, it's not going to be that easy to have a page rank system that works.

My personal opinion is that Googlebot will have to do a deep crawl, at least, a couple of times per year. Just better have that server up when they do it. :)

Brett is so right about looking back on this time in Google's history as a timeline when things started changing, not for the better. Some of us have been on the Internet a long time, and I for one can remember when AV and Excite were the best games in town, but where are they now? I believe the Internet doesn't like a vacuum and someone, possibly MS will fill this void in short order. I certainly respect what Google has built, but just like your computer, without upgrades, Google will become obsolete within the next six months if their database becomes old.
