As you page through the results, you get the same images, associated with different stories. So there is zero, maybe even negative relevance to the images. If they were smart, they might add some digg-like tool to indicate if the image was related or not, but their search engine obviously makes no more than a semi-random effort with the images. And even more badness. At least 2 links per page do not even go to the sources. On page 9, a link to a blog post I wrote has a URL of http://www.surfingjoe.com/nph-proxy.pl/011110A/http/cogdogblog.com/ and links supposedly to NMC goes to http://westchester-dwi-lawyer.info/tags/nmc/ and http://healthy-spa.info/tags/nmc/ My regrets to your Mom, but this is the stupidest most transparent attempt effort and is more of a splog than anything. Stupid and lame in one effort. Not only "not ready for prime time", it is most un-cuil and destined to be the laughingstock of the web. What a frigging legacy. It’s even worse than that.
