It seems that Google is forgetting the old web

Indeed, it seems that Google IS forgetting the old Web

XML pioneer and early blogger Tim Bray says that Google maybe suffers of deliberate memory loss. As soon as I read it, I tried DuckDuckGo and got the same result: Google ignores my copy of my own post, DuckDuckGo correctly lists it as first result (click here for high-resolution screenshot):

Unlike Bray’s, my own post disappeared from the Web for a while, and then reappeared with the original date, but only after a few years, and in a different domain. Bray concludes that Google deliberately forgets old pages, because “in­dex­ing the whole Web is crush­ing­ly ex­pen­sive, and get­ting more so ev­ery day” and Google “cares about giv­ing you great an­swers to the ques­tions that mat­ter to you right now”.
