News and information junkies have long had search and meta-search engines to satisfy their craving. Frankly, I`ve never felt the need to search beyond my most pressing requirements. My rather ruthless way about information has been to find one or more own-content sites I trust, per every area of interest to me, and to change to something better when it comes along. Which gets about as much from the Internet as one would from a PC: using it to add and subtract. I admit that. But who has the time to visit every fissure of the web?

Some think this heralds the end of newspapers. Why go anywhere else, they ask. Who needs editors? But things haven`t changed that much. You still have to click through to the source, even if you prefer to find your story on Google. And you still need journalists to produce source articles. How else would Google have anything to list? How else would Google gauge its importance, based on how many times it appears where, and how many times other sites refer to it?
