Freakonomics has published a new podcast episode ‘Is Google Getting Worse?’.

The Freakonomics team says, “The power of that revelation faded, as revelations do, and we all began to take Google for granted. When you needed some information, you just typed a few words into the search box and, very quickly, you got the answer you were looking for, usually from an authoritative source. But today? To me, at least, it doesn’t feel the same. My search results just don’t seem as useful. I feel like I’m seeing more ads, more links that might as well be ads, more links to spammy web pages. Do you also feel like Google isn’t what it used to be? Today on Freakonomics Radio: how did Google come to dominate web search in the first place?”
