Microsoft to challenge Google | |
|
||
| Time: 06:46 EST/11:46 GMT | News Source: Boston Globe | Posted By: Ed Bennett | ||

An ebullient Steve Ballmer, president and chief executive of Microsoft, said yesterday that his company is "hell-bent and determined" to challenge Google for leadership in the Internet search business. "It'll be a lot of fun for the rest of you to watch," Ballmer shouted to the delight of several hundred guests at a meeting of the Massachusetts Software Council in Boston. | ||

You know, I'm actually glad to see this now. In the past that's because I could care less, Google was superb, and I didn't need or care about anything else.
But, Google is no longer superb. Google has become so over-commercialized that searches result in 10,000 hits of ad's, and maybe one or two USEFUL hits with information I actually need. The IPO will only make things worse. There is no Google any more. Google has died. Time for something new... |

#2,
The search_engine_ is still wonderful. It's the results that consist of 95% "Buy from me!" ad's that make it useless now days. I recently bought an entire new Home Theatre system. Researching it was a pain in the arse because while 95% of the hits were "Buy from me!" instead of good technical info I wanted. Finding reviews have become a nightmare. It seems that every place on the 'net has installed a 'review' system. Most of them are empty. Those that aren't are just copies of someone elses review system. It's become too much work to get so little useful data. In the old days it was the other way around. Most of the info was useful. TL |

#3,
Of course not :) I'm just willing to give them more of a shot at it than I was in the past. That's the point I was making. TL |

yup, google and gmail have text based ads. No big deal.
TL, you can get a software that blocks the ads if they are annoying/bothering you too much. |
