Gary Price notes that Google’s claimed number of
images in the Images index (listed on the home page) suddenly grew immediately
after Yahoo!’s announcement of its index size
updates. Oh, brother. This pissing contest is tedious to the extreme, but at least Google’s update was quiet,
unannounced. But in the interest of real benefit to users, I’d like to see announcements of quality breakthroughs, not
size breakthroughs. The discussion should always be about how the indexes can be used in newly effective ways,
not about incremental size upgrades, which are meaningless to most people.
