Page rank was inspired by bibliometrics and evaluation of science publications. It's messed up now because of the rankings. Further fiddling with ranking will not fix the problem.

+1, PageRank was taken from academia. They even cited it in their original work. Funny how the origins of these things get forgotten.

Inspired by, not taken. It's a clever solution to a hard problem!

Do you remember Ask Jeeves? Dogpile? Google was an incredible improvement!
