Unless something about it catches my trust I just throw the junk mail away and never click on an AdSense ad.

I guess if Adsense wasn't helping solve peoples problems, then publishers wouldn't be seeing any cash. For me, I still find stuff easily using Google and Yahoo. >>Interesting parallels with Web 2.0. LOL. I'm in full agreement. I guess all analogies, like the newspaper analogy, have their limits :)

However, there are dozens of newspapers to choose from. You can therefore fine tune your taste in crap. Essentially we only have three search engines to choose from. From my perspective I find Google's page 1-3 SERPs increasingly full of crap, i.e. pages of adsense content scrapers or shopping comparison intermediaries. So I use Yahoo. But the crap seems to be creeping in there. Maybe we have a new concept of crap creep! As a little boy, a crap was called a "Number 2". Interesting parallels with Web 2.0. Pete,
