September 11 & Google

[george at library.caltech.edu]

Rich Wiggins, long time member of Web4Lib, has written an excellent article
in the latest issue of First Monday
<http://firstmonday.org/issues/issue6_10/wiggins/index.html>, The effects of
September 11 on the leading search engine.

In addition to all of the insight and attention to detail that Rich provides
in the article, I'm astounded by the inspiration and focus that made it
possible for him to track the changes and deliver such an excellent piece of
work in an incredibly short time frame.

It was well worth my time to read it.  I suspect that it will be worth your
time, as well.
