A9 Search from Amazon

[TwisterMc]

Not sure what the big deal is here but A9 (http://www.a9.com/) has arrived. Uses Googles results, so that's not much new. They just try to display everything you could ever want on one page. Customizable is the word.

Why the heck do they keep sending out their ia archiver if they are just going to use others search results?

ia_archiver is for their way back machine I think.

this is one of the biggest jokes ever.
A9 boosted Amazon's stock price by 15%. What it does was buying results from google. Amazon hired about 10-20 at least C engineered on the project.

Amazon, Google, Microsfot, Yahoo, All jokes. Oh, I forgot eBay. I am going to start a PornBay..

you should block them ASAP. i know some engineers in Alexa and A9. they have no clue. i liked those original amazon engineers. they are good.
