Luca Sofri plaude all'Economist. Lo chiama, non so quanto ironicamente, giornale di sinistra. Economist è thacheriano quindi è assolutamente di destra, ma ha rispetto dei suoi lettori, cerca di pubblicare fatti giusti e usa le statistiche senza trucchi. In più parla delle cose di tutto il mondo e non ha mai fatto un servizio su quel delitto in val d'Aosta che non voglio nominare. Sono abbonato.
The End of Frequent-Crawling?. Not too long ago, Google introduced a system where the best frequently-updated would be crawled about every other day. This made Google much more useful when searching for rapidly updated news. It appears this has been stopped. The cached pages for sites that previously got this treatment are all from September 4th. I'm not sure if this is because of a bug, part of the new ranking system, or because they feel Google News replaces it. But it is disappointing. The frequent-crawling gave us access to many independent sites that aren't part of Google news, and the cached pages were very useful during major events. If anyone has any official information about this problem, I'd appreciate it.... [Google Weblog]
