So Google has launched a customisable search engine that people can tinker with till their heart’s content and then bung on their web site.

Good news, possibly, for sites that want to nail down their searches into some sort of whitelist approved information suburb. But bad news for anyone that doesn’t want to be subjected to the design whims of imbeciles.

Just look at what of the IT Week monkeys has spewed forth. It’s not nice, it’s not very clever, and it is definitely not pretty.
