The decline of the Internet
I've just been searching the internet for information regarding the source of bubbles coming into my pool from the filter return lines. Not that it's a big deal, at least I don't think so but I wanted to see. BTW, the pool is now up to 80F and just wonderful, shorty (grandson) won't let me go a day without a swim and I feel like the summer fitness program is well under way. Great way to get a good night's sleep after a swim.
But anyway, back to the bubbles an internet search yields what seems like a lot of useful results. But on closer inspection, they are a lot of duplicates and the sites are simply aggregators. I mean like: Ask.com, Instructables, Wiki answers, Wikihow, Ehow, Homegardenguides.com, and Yelp. Ehow is my least favorite, the article is a bunch of generalities (did you know that air in the pipes can cause bubbles?) surrounded by ads and links to other marginally useful articles. Although the link to a pool demolition company may be the ultimate solution. (I did not appreciate the redirect through an ad site to get there.)
I thought our friends at google had made changes to lower the page rank or aggregators, at least there was some fuss about it a year or so ago. But they seem to be going strong. How about a search that then removes duplicate articles? I'll take $10 Billion please.
