In the past 10 years the amount of news stories on the web is probably 10 times bigger. Similar other things, like video and images and journal articles. (Random article says way more than 10 times)

The original stories have also been repeated and mutated. Plus content farms are literally mixing it all up.

I have thought Google is getting overwhelmed with content and it feels like they are pulling back.

But without a metric who knows?

The information available is better than ever, but are we talking it must be in the top 30 returns? Long tail is failing? Worse for grandparents or the computer literate?

We just old people complaining about the past if we are talking the information Google is a portal too. It's amazing what Google returns now.
