Powerhousing the competition

I don’t know why Yahoo, MSN or ASK even try anymore.  I mean do you ever think, hey, I need to find something…lets see there is Altavista, dogpile, msn, and lycros?  I remember one occassion when google failed me, I went to msn to do the search.  WOW.  I immediately felt remorse.  How could I have doubted google?  I remember thinking, I probably just typed in the search incorrectly.  If I had typed in the right keyword then google would’ve done its job perfectly.  

I can’t even give that excuse anymore.  Now it has auto-spell check on all searches.  But that is nothing. Now, when there is a fire within miles of where you live and you need some info, you don’t have to read about the San Diego fires in the 1880s.  Now you can seamlessly click one link and eliminate everything but that one bit of info you need to figure out if you need to check your email or evacuate. 

Watch the video for info on what they’ve added to their search:

  1. alicia Said,

    When I was in high school, a librarian helping me find info on a report told me to never only use one search engine, but that I should use several for the same topic. although this advice was well engrained in my mind, i have yet to follow it, and generally only use dogpile for all of my searches.

  2. Mike G. Said,

    Wow, Google is taking over the world.
