    Post Search Rage!

    Recently I have discovered many a search engines poping up all over the place. I remember a while back when there used to be Google™ and Yahoo!™ but that was it. Now there are:

    Google
    Yahoo!
    Answers.com
    Yesup
    Dogpile
    Ask Jeeves
    Alta Vista
    Alexa
    A9
    ABC Search
    Verticle Search
    Windows Live Search
    Snap
    MSN Search
    BrainBoost
    Excite
    Info.com
    ixquick
    Mamma
    Metacrawler
    WebCrawler
    Zoominfo
    Clusty
    Kartoo
    Mamma.com
    Vivisimo
    AOL Search
    Netscape
    GahooYoogle

    as well as many other local search engines.
    My favorite has to be...elgooG. It is an exact mirror of Google™. Try it for yourself!

    I like the elgooG one, but I believe that Google is probably the most advanced search engine as it has been around such a more longer time than all the others. I predict Yahoo! to come in second, as well as Ask Jeeves (which seems to have an abundance of IntelliTXT ads on this forum). Google is the simplest of them all and easiest to use, it takes not a long time to load, and has its own mirror! That is probably why it gets so much traffic. Google also hosts an advertising program (Google AdWords) which delivers traffic (corresponds with Google AdSense) effectively and gives the customer 100% satisfactino (Thats ME!). Anyways, google is a more inexperienced web user friendly search engine. That is what I'm just trying to say...
    I got peas on my head but I'm not a pea head.

    I use Ask Jeeves...and just F.Y.I. yahhoo has an advertising program too just like Google AdSense/Google AdWords. Its just not as well known. x10hosting uses Ads by Yahoo!™ all the time and I think that Yahoo!™ pays out just as good as Google AdSense does. And Yesup is a subsidiary of Clicksor™ which is another advertising company. They really can "deliver where it matters!"

    I think Google AdSense™ is more profitable than the Yahoo!™ advertising system. And it is more widely known.

    That is all.

    Altavista has a video search for the web...Google™ Hosts its own video seearch!!

    That is quite a bit more sophisticated...

    Re: Search Rage!

    Yahoo and Ask, although I find myself using Google more because Firefox is in bed with google (all urls with no dns entry, are verified using google as a failsafe, to see if the site exists - plus they're using google phishing).

    Without a doubt, Google has already become a much more serious threat then Google. Google's acquisition of YouTube paints a very bleak picture of the future, it seems all simple and innocent now

    - but remember that "he who controls the means to information, controls the people by extension" (basically whoever controls the publics access to information, essentially controls what they see, learn and do - one of the primary ways to run a totalitarian/dictator state is to control the access of information).

    Google. I don't like Yahoo; their Slurp crawler is too aggressive.
