People are beginning to pile on Google.  See this article from 
CNN online:

The issue here is the amount of spam in Google searches.  The 
author posits that "curated" search will supplant Google's 
algorithmic model.

Maybe so, but I wish the crowdsourced curators the author speaks 
of were information professionals and not just anybody with a 
Twitter account.  I remain uncomfortable with having specialized 
material (e.g., research literature) curated by nonspecialists.
