Google minus Google

The Register reports that an astute Finn is offering a bastardized version of Google's search engine that ignores sites served up by Google itself.

"Inspired by a recent New York Times piece that questioned whether the Mountain View search monopoly is morphing into a media company - which it is - Finnish blogger Timo Paloheimo promptly unveiled Google minus Google. Key in the word "YouTube," and the first result is Wikipedia."

According to The Register, Google minus Google is built with the Google Custom Search Engine and "conveniently filters out domains such as YouTube, Blogger, Gmail, Knol, Orkut, and - most importantly - Jaiku. In other words, it removes Google's conflict of interest."
