Nice Universal Search for Formula One Fans

One Response | April 27th, 2009

I’m a huge Formula One guy and a big fan of most motorsports that don’t involve rednecks, a stadium, and turning left for four hours at a time.  I was half asleep last night by the end of the F1 Bahrain race and wanted to remind myself of the results again when I was more coherent this moring.  So I Googled [formula 1] to go to all the usual F1 news sites. 

But I also got this at the top of the SERP:

Must be nice for Formula1.com to have the top 3 first page results. Also very cool that there is a reminder with the time for the next race.

As much as we all bang on Google as search practitioners or adversaries in information retrieval, as a consumer, we should give them a little credit when they do build things that make our lives easier or better.

    True.

    Although I bet their competitors ranking below that had their listings pushed below the fold would beg to differ. ;)
