Search Engine Wars

[Fine_Rabid_Dog]

So, we've got the "war in iraq". There's even "game console wars".

Now there's search engine stuff going down.

Watching TV the other day, an obscure advert came on with a bloke holding a bit of cardborad, asking me to "join the revolution" or something of that nature, then displaying a link: www.ask.com

To my dissapointment, the link takes you to the lame "Ask Jeeves" website, a pretty crappy search engine, IMHO.

Below the search bar, is the text "__Join the revolution".

Clicking that, takes you here: http://www.information-revolution.org/

"Hey cool!" I say, "Free T-shirts!" (One is already in the post for me )

But everything else is pretty dissapointing. Turns out its just an ad campaign disguised as an anti-google campaign.

Seriously, is nothing sacred?

Going on about how google is bad as "the one source", when all they're trying to do is swindle people into using their own search engine.

Pretty lame if you ask me...

Comments? Thoughts? Hipthrusts?

Oh well I gwt a free t-shirt. And who cares really? Companies always dig at each other to get the better market share. Been going on for ages and search engines are just another battle ground.
