- DavidTTT, on 04/08/2008, -2/+19I hope Google goes easy on us when it takes over the world....we love you google ^^ *hides in fear*
- Austin7687, on 04/08/2008, -4/+19Yeah, I used to only use Yahoo, but Google consistently yields better results.
- marv0, on 04/08/2008, -2/+11and hopefully a spellcheck too, am i right?
- TopDerek, on 04/08/2008, -2/+10I hate it when people hate on Google and look for the ways their going to mess up. Why not wait till they mess up before you try and poke holes in their plans. It's pretty much a fact that all companies will screw their customers in time, but I have been using Google services daily for 5 years and haven't had to shell out a dime. And I've loved every minuted of it. They'd have to screw me pretty bad to lose me as a customer and, frankly, I dont see it happening anytime soon. Long Live The King!
- pktgumby, on 04/08/2008, -1/+8and hopefully a shift and/or caps lock button too, am i right?
- buughost, on 04/08/2008, -1/+7As if google could do anything but go up?
- ASeventhSign, on 04/08/2008, -1/+6piece of what?
- mrsteveman1, on 04/08/2008, -1/+5Live search censors china searches as well, your point is completely ignorant.
Oh yea, Live search sucks. - marv0, on 04/08/2008, -1/+5well played sir, well played
- winterspan, on 04/08/2008, -3/+7If it wasn't Google, it would have been M$. So far at least, Google has not shown ANY of the type of rancid, irresponsible user-spiting behavior that M$ has consistently shown when it monopolizes any market. On the contrary, Google continues to show it's outstanding character and unmatched ability to grow it's business and profits while simultaneously holding true to it's values and showing leadership on social, technological, and charitable causes.
Just today it was announced they are working with the United Nations and NGOs to create detailed regional maps of refugee camps and other areas receiving humanitarian aid to help organization, distribution, reporting, etc.
They are a truly standup company, and I am proud to be a shareholder (however small). - mrsteveman1, on 04/08/2008, -0/+4I used to use Yahoo because of better results, now Google seems better, especially with the way you can use keywords like site:
- darkchild, on 04/08/2008, -1/+4Not sure what to believe anymore. Only a week or so ago, DIGG had several articles which mentioned that Googles market share in search had gone down.
- pktgumby, on 04/08/2008, -4/+7I, for one, welcome our new search overlords.
In Soviet Russia, the internet searches you!
????
Profit!
etc., etc. - inactive, on 04/08/2008, -1/+4google's secret: it's just simple.
in an age where yahoo was SPAMMING people with 1 million links to their sub-sites, google just had: box->search. the end.
if you notice they still keep the simplicity in anything they do.
(technically there was altavista and a few other simple ones but they had terrible down times I remember)
it's not about their 'superior algorithms' and stuff some nerds say, forget about it, it's their simplicity and ok, reliability. - marshallk, on 04/08/2008, -1/+4Post includes discussion of three ways Google's momentum could face challenges.
- pickles46, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2You'll believe what you're told.
- pw378, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2Yahoo was great back in 2003... but that was when they had Google providing their search results! :)
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2What will happen when Google knows all, sees all, and becomes sentient?
- autosovereign, on 12/06/2008, -2/+4That makes sense, considering that Yahoo and MSN both suck.
- mnemy, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2Really? That's it? Figured they would have more than 67%. I don't know anyone who uses a different search engine. Even my mom uses it.
Actually, correction. I had a japanese ex that used yahoo (I guess yahoo is popular in japan?) until she was trying to find something, and I found it in 10 seconds via google. - maninalift, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3I'm all for competition but Live Search? You must be joking.
- mcoder, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3When people using Yahoo or Msn (it's delivered by standard in Internet Explorer) discover Google thanks to someone they know, they immediately switch to it and never come back. It was at least my case.
- spammishking, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2I don't get it, I just finished reading an article in Wired that stated that Google was slipping and meeting it's quarterly expectations.... so which is it, is Google flat lining, or are they just growing and growing? I'm beginning to think that most articles are just hype to draw eyeballs, and none are correct
- Grooblle, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2Do you even know how Alexa works?
- mrsteveman1, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1Search pie
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1they worked generally fine, they were just bloaty such as yahoo and usually unstable, e.g. down.
yahoo directory was fine too, it's hard to find a good directory nowadays, too vast. - Dylson, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1Bacon.
- ajkxxx, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1The article is looking at US search ..look at United States Alexa stats....
- sadilak, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1What!!. You must be one of those Non Conformists!. Google is awesome.
- maninalift, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1Yes Google keep it simple. Also so they don't try to create products, they create tools. But the algorithms really are important. Do you remember what search engines used to be like?
- walkingpeas, on 04/08/2008, -1/+2Google is usually the go-to for searches. However, it is not the "be all and end all". Frequently, I have had better results from Ask and Dogpile.
- pktgumby, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1Wait, so now its cool to dislike Google? Dammit, I didn't get the memo!! Why didn't somebody tell me????!!!
- inactive, on 04/10/2008, -0/+1I have used Google for about 8 years, but I am using Yahoo Search and MSN Live more and more often. I don't think that Google is enough for a thorough search, not to mention that Yahoo gives me better, cleaner answers more and more often than Google. So, yes Google's share of searches is growing, but their quality is declining in my opinion.
- MyTypes, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1wow, and I am not surprised, i just did a post on the Google Algorithm, the Anatomy of a Search Engine, SEO's know why we focus on Google
- rolty125, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1Epic 2014!!!!! googlzon is comming
- ryanatkin, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1SOMEBODY SOUNDS BITTER!
- viz78, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1check this article :-http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/yahoo_support ...
hmm, looks google is the follower now, probably resting in their laurels, because people are too blinded by google's initial brilliance, that they don't want to try anything else. You are missing out people!!! - Austin7687, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I remember that. It said:
Yahoo!
powered by Google - Feej, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1I think I just vomited in my mouth a little.....
- pw378, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1I am still holding my Google shares that I bought for $100 on the day of the IPO. Didn't sell at $200, didn't sell at $400, didn't sell at $700.... I won't sell it until I retire because its a much better guarantee of a good retirement than counting on the Social Security program.
- Albear89, on 04/08/2008, -4/+4Go google.
- Grooblle, on 04/08/2008, -2/+2Article about Google? Digg'd.
- TRScheel, on 04/08/2008, -1/+1The site didn't tell you how much they could be off by... And I doubt they could accurately figure that.
- cubicledrone, on 04/08/2008, -1/+1When was the last time Google had a mass layoff? Oh, never. Imagine that! When you employ smart people and let them do their jobs, you win. Who would have thunk it? Now maybe the hairpiece crouton-pouring conference room gangrene infected unwiped asscrack rat ***** lying phone-flipping douchecannons in the rest of "corporate culture" can disconnect the cranial-rectal interface and stop ***** up our country.
But I doubt it. - ducksinthewind, on 04/09/2008, -0/+0dogpile tops the Great Goo. plus, G's evil plan to take over is that they try to install on my puter every time the drive goes around. I'll take the dog
- petska, on 04/08/2008, -1/+1buy the stock and tuck it away for a few years
- drjekelmrhyde, on 04/08/2008, -3/+3Just last week another site said it took a 4% hit while live went up 7%
/I take this with a grain of salt - petska, on 04/10/2008, -0/+0that sounds like a better plan than putting your money in a 2% cd =/
- anarchytv, on 04/08/2008, -3/+3Google is *****. Have you ever tried to get a job with them? Try it. If you have anything less than a Master's Degree, you are shown the door. ***** those *****. They are worse than IBM. Oh, they'll hire you through a scab temp agency. You'll be in a google data center doing google work, but you'll be an employee of Joe Nobody Temps getting nothing for benefits. You might as well be an imigrant farm worker.
