Google's problem

To quote the google svp:

"No one argues the value of free speech, but the vast majority of stuff we find on the web is useless. The clamor of junk threatens to drown out voices of quality . . .

Just like a newspaper needs great reporters, the web needs experts. When it comes to information, not all of it is created equal and the web’s future depends on attracting the best of it . . .We need to make it easier for the experts, journalists, and editors that we actually trust to publish their work under an authorship model that is authenticated and extensible, and then to monetize in a meaningful way."

So far, JiansNet.com, a search based question and answer website, has been able to stay clean from the junk content and provide useful information for especially overseas Chinese.
