Personal RSS Feed Aggregation, Google Search Quality Decline
A custom-built "freedom controller" system is described, which aggregates over 700 RSS feeds into a searchable database, outperforming Google for specific research tasks. The discussion highlights how Google has drifted from its original mission of providing fast, clean search results by adding excessive JavaScript, ads, and Google Plus integration. The host suggests that Google's focus on driverless cars and Google Glass is a distraction from their declining core product.
