    What google monopoly? They have never had one. There has always been Dogpile, Yahoo, Ask, Microsoft's, search, and thousands of other search engines.

    People love to throw around that word when explaining a oligopoly type market.

    I was lucky enough to hear about searchme a couple of days ago and signed up as a beta tester. Today I got my account details through and have been more than impressed at the look and functionality of the website.

    Here are a few screenshot i took:

    Could you do more searches to actually test the engine?

    I tend to believe that SearchMe will be aquired by one of the top search engines like: google, msn, yahoo, aol, etc.

    Good job guys!

    The reason Google is used daily is because its simple and relevant even my grandma who has no computer knowledge can use Google and get access to what ever she wants. This site is too complicated to be big not only that but its like telling a real amateur to go and design a website its just not going to happen.

    This is my 2 cents and plus one more note is that if MSN cant compete with Google with there trillions of dollars how the hell can anyone think they can.

    oh... there it goes, had to open it in Safari.

    meh, it looks kind of annoying....I don't want to search and scroll through pages...I just want results, short, quick.

    It's like having a huge iPhone interface with sites instead of songs:)

    It will probably never seen high volume main stream (general public) use but for the techie/web savvy types it should be fun:)

    I prefer Google over this. This is just flashy, nothing more.

    Every month I see a "Google Killer". Every month Google is still alive. I hold no faith in anything but google, and I'd rather not see google perish.
