Links that Miss the Point

[flwyd]

When uploading a new user icon, I was trying to figure out how to spell Charbonneau, a ghost town in North Dakota. I wound up searching Google for Charbonneau, ND. The top hit is "Jobs in Charbonneau, ND - Yahoo HotJobs." Further down you can search the Charbonneau yellow pages, find home improvement contractors, and find a roommate. Take a look at some pictures of Charbonneau and tell me if you'd be looking for jobs, roommates, or phone numbers there. Home improvement contractors would be useful...

Let this be an ironic example: just because a page is at the top of Google doesn't mean it has any useful information. At least the GhostTowns.com entry is on the first results page.
