Stuart Gray on 18 Feb 10Explains the Google Pigeon Rank system, where flocks of specially trained pigeons gather answers to search queries to provide that Google edge. A completely nonsense site of course (an April Fool's Day joke in fact) - but how long will it take students to realise that? Often a student will consider the site host before considering the value of the actual content. Useful for teaching information literacy.
