Funny thing about Web-borne information, it moves very quickly. When Jason Dowdell at WebProNews mentioned that John Glick (Yahoo) had taken a new job at Become.com, other blogs excitedly picked up the news, spread it, and linked to the original post. From the attention paid, you’d think Jon moved from Yahoo to Become this morning. No one seemed to notice that it’s Jon not John. And he’s been at Become for over 2 weeks. The other funny thing about Web-borne information is its fluidity. Whether you search for Jon or John, you’re likely to find Mr. Glick. You’ll also, however, find a VP of Power Transmission for Lufkin Industries in Lufkin, Texas, but that’s another story. Unlike traditional online search engines such as Dialog, which is completely literal and where a search for John will not find Jon, the Web is more forgiving. Like traditional online, it’s still up to the searcher to scrutinize results and be the ultimate arbitrator of relevancy and reliability.
