9 search tools for avoiding infosewage on the web

Read the full story from ResearchBuzz.

The shallow, ill-informed junk that AI is spewing into the Web – what I call infosewage – is bad for people who are trying to perform useful Web searches. Unfortunately, it’s good for low-effort endeavors to make money off advertising, so it’s not going anywhere until online advertising companies make it impossible to profit from uncredited, rechewed content. I’m not holding my breath.

What I am doing is developing tools to avoid the infosewage. You don’t have to create an opaque algorithm or develop your own specific set of sites to find useful content on the Internet.  Instead, you can take advantage of the authoritative structures that are all around us and use them to guide you to Web spaces that contain much more information and much less crud.

In this article, I’m going to show you nine different search tools that you can use to help you keep the search result garbage to a minimum and perform more useful queries using the principle of authoritative structures. Let’s start with that idea: the authoritative structure.
