Google, Blogs and clutter?

A quote from the article titled Google to fix blog
noise problem found on The Register…

“The main problem with blogs is that, as far as Google is
concerned, they masquerade as useful information when all they contain is
idle chatter,” wrote Roddy. “And through some fluke of their evil software,
they seem to get indexed really fast, so when a major political or social
event happens, Google is noised to the brim with blogs and you have to start
at result number 40 or so before you get past the blogs.”

Perhaps this problem calls for Google to dig a bit deeper into those links.
I believe for the most part blogs provide valid page rankings, but it’s the
contextual information that can be lacking at times.

In addition, I think that clustering blogs that reference the same or
similar sources like Blogdex, Daypop, Popdex and Technocrati, which come to think of it
is similar to what you see on Google
News.

Hmmm…
