Teh Internets Real Cheap Yahoo
Posted by Charles Mudede on Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 12:45 PM
If only, if only...
SOFTWARE giant Microsoft is in talks to acquire Yahoo’s online search business for $20 billion (£13 billion).The proposal forms the centrepiece of a complex transaction that would see Microsoft support a new management team to take control of Yahoo. But there is no intention of Microsoft tabling another takeover bid for the web giant, after its aborted $47.5 billion offer this summer.

Do you? How does one hopeless also-ran internet search page acquiring another hopeless also-ran internet search page constitute "monopoly"? There IS a monopoly in search, and it ain't the boobs at Microsoft or Yahoo.

I switched to Google a long time ago. If there is a better search engine than Google, let me know.

Yeah... it's a board game, right?
I reserve my right to react immediately and without any forethought. That way I can post first. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.

I sometimes wonder who actually uses MSN's search engine other than former and current employees. I think I get better results from those spam placeholder websites.

Millions of people still use Microsoft's search, but 100% of them are people who don't know how or can't be bothered to change their default settings, and advertisers know that.

And 100% of Yahoo search users are people who were tricked into downloading the Yahoo Toolbar when all they wanted was access to their Yahoo Mail. No rational person has ever downloaded this toolbar legitimately.

I actually put "internet search engine" in google and google wansn't on the list. AltaVista was first.
If you just put "search" in google, google comes up way down the list. Altavista is number 2.
I've never used altavista nor do I know anyone who's ever used it.
However, I don't really know exactly how google makes its lists, maybe they're being humble.
