People are truly amazing sometimes. Had anybody heard of Google back in the day. Does anybody remember the searchspider I think it was called. Where is it today. Totally ridiculous that anyone could think that Google is unbeatable. Tough to beat yes. Undefeatable no not really. Is this simple little engine good enough to do it. I am not sure. But then again everybody has a downfall, just ask Napoleon. Just as you reach the point of complete conquest your fall is surely emminent.
Here are some of the top companies in the US back in 1896: American Cotton Oil Distant ancestor of Bestfoods American Sugar Evolved into Amstar Holdings American Tobacco Broken up in 1911 antitrust action Chicago Gas Absorbed by Peoples Gas, 1897 Distilling & Cattle Feeding Whiskey trust evolved into Millennium Chemical General Electric Going strong and still in the DJIA Laclede Gas Active, removed from DJIA in 1899 National Lead Today's NL Industries removed from DJIA in 1916 North American Utility combine broken up in 1940s Tennessee Coal & Iron Absorbed by U.S. Steel in 1907 U.S. Leather (preferred) Dissolved in 1952 U.S. Rubber Became Uniroyal, now part of Michelin Is Google the next GE or the next Tennessee Coal & Iron?
Check out http://www.mahalo.com If they didn't index the page, they pull up google results..NEAT! I just wish the name would be a little bit catchier...I Mahaloed it????
Do you think that Altavista, which is here for years before Google would suddenly fall to this? Sure! Altavista was the bigger search engine of the 1990s and now is a Yahoo's toy. Of course not! Google in the stock market guarantees that someday someone with the right price get it, as Adobe purchasing Macromedia.
I like it, however I question the voting system. My site was third for a search, so I voted for it, and it became number one, that is rather open to spamming.
yeah...need more works to become the first search engine and need times..but I also believe one day google will fall.
They have long way to go. I just the word "sex" and received interesting result http://www.sproose.com/pages/search/search.jsp?query=sex #1 Google.com #4 Yahoo.com #8 Php.net .
I dont really like it and incorporating voting is a bad idea, you're just going to get people voting for each other's sites which will affect the quality of the results. Its an ok search engine but it's not going to be big
