Google on the other hand is a massive Innovation factory, churning innovations by the years. No body really is close to them when it comes to search, on line advertising etc. I'm wondering a bit about search. The few times I've bothered to use e.g. Bing, I wouldn't say the search quality was noticeably worse, and the emphasis on organic over paid links was... refreshing. When I think back about my search engine switches in the past, they rarely happened because of search algorithm quality per se, but mostly because the previous search engine was getting clogged with ads. That definitely drove me away from lycos, and I seem to remember it also happened with AltaVista. Google may be unrivaled in online advertising, but to me as a consumer, that is not necessarily a benefit.
