There will be inevitable negatives comparisons to Google, and perhaps some of them are right. I'm just pleased it's working well enough for me and that there is finally now a viable competitor to Google.
- litewulf 17y agoJust wondering, why is it important to have a viable competitor to Google? Are you worried about corporate shenanigans, or a single point of failure or something entirely else?

- madair 17y agoThe danger of all monopolies. I'm not trying to troll or promote irrational fear, but I feel that the competition has been too weak. The hegemony of a single organization which has a clearly stated philosophical viewpoint with a desire to index all information quite simply poses risks which others have described better than I can claim to. By diversifying those risks I hope we can reduce the potential problems. I'm not saying that Microsoft is the antidote, just that I am glad to see competition. I hope there is more forthcoming.

- skinnymuch 17y agoTry getting customer support with Adsense or Adwords (almost all of Google's money source). It'll suck or be non-existant. Oh...that is unless your in the 1% of top spenders.
