Re “People need a reason to change search engines”There are plenty of good reasons to switch from google.Google now tracks everything one does on the web for a lot of people:* those that use firefox’ built-in anti-phishing feature, it means every URL you visit goes to google first,* google syndication and doubleclick engulfment can cover pretty the entirety of an unsuspecting person’s web behavior* people have somehow turned the verb “search” into “google” , adding more to the omnipresence of googlePersonally I’ve long been using yahoo and other so-called “B-List” search engines. Admittedly the results are not as good as google. But I believe in choice, and fair competitiveness and variety . I don’t and will not buy into this frightening “Google == WWW” trend. It may suit them and their shareholders , but it doesn’t suit the interest of privacy, innovation, fair market competitiveness . PS. Note , I don’t mind using google’s blogger services, because there are other blogging services that “on par” with their service.
