In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Vivek Wadhwa was not happy with G's algo changes, he said "G could be what Altavista used to be".

Great interview!
Did you notice how the female reporter said "Bing returns far less spam"? I think that - and certainly with this algo change - we came to a point where Bing is better than Google. Google is losing the battle. It took them one year to prepare an algo change that doesn't work. What really makes me angry is that they are too arrogant to realize how bad this algo change is. Some of the search team engineers didn't test the algo properly before releasing it and are damaging the reputation of the company. I've seen people get fired for less.
