Oh, that. Yeah, I'm not personally worried that they used it very lightly as one of a dozen sources and then stopped.

Fool me once...

Twitter has a similar problem. The more the CEO injects personal politics into the function of the site, the less confidence people have that a new search won't be fucked with. Whatever you might say about Google, Bing, and Yahoo, their owners have at least kept their politics closer to the chest.
