Best part of the article is at the end:<p><i>Will Google be going commercial? Page has no opposition to it, but said there's no particular hurry.<p>"We're Ph.D. students, we can do whatever we want," he said. And what they want is to find the right partners to let them focus on improving relevancy. "I'd like to build a service where the priority is on giving users great results," Page said.<p>If you pay a visit, don't be frightened by the interface. One thing Google needs is a good facelift. Relevancy scores and other extraneous information can obscure the actual listings -- but I did say this was an experimental service, right?</i>
