Blake Schwendiman's Blog and Blook

Depending on how you use the Internet, this article may not be particularly useful. If you are a no-nonsense, go-exactly-to-the-site kind of a person, this probably isn't for you, read this instead. If, however, you are a search-for-every-funny-video-and-forward-it-to-everyone kind of person, this may help.

For quite some time, I've been wondering about Google ranking and general searching. I found out a couple of things. First, Google is pretty good at getting relevant information toward the top, and second, Google (and most search engines) only show down to the 1,000th web page. So if you want to find the least relevant page for any search, you can go down to the 99th page (assuming 10 results per page) and find the very least relevant web page that Google will provide. Fascinating, isn't it? The problem is that getting clear down there takes many clicks and we just don't have time for that in our busy lives.

So, thanks to the power of the Google API and some latent programming skills that I possess, I went ahead and created a web site that will let you quickly locate the very least relevant web page for any subject using Google itself! Imagine how you can waste your time now!

Here are some examples:

• I searched for Bill Gates and found this article.
• I searched for Google and found this (try it, it's fun!).

I'm curious to hear what you find!

(Oh, and I need a logo for the site!)
