Google Wants to Help You Avoid Stupid, Annoying Multiple Page Articles

Google Wants to Help You Avoid Stupid, Annoying Multiple Page ArticlesOf all the first world problems that rattle our sensitive, effete internet brains each day, having to click between pages in a long article ranks high. It's eats up time! And Google agrees—so it's serving up one-page views.
