Goggle 's got more than half the search market so yahoo msn etc etc cannot beat them. They will create a healthy competition though but to beat no no no!
I don't think so. Google cannot be beaten up by any other search engines even if they will combine it.
Google is still industry leader in search and i think there is no chance in next decade even msn & yahoo combine there effort or do some kind of merger.
Don't think it will happen anytime soon. Google currently holds an excelent position, in capability and services, which means that only with a great mess-up and web users behavior change would there be a chance for that to happen.
I'm honestly sick and tired of these types of threads. All of the top search engines will stay at their ranks for a good time. I honestly will lose all hope in this forum if I see more threads like this! Yugo,
i agree with Bohra..... google is not just search with online targeting it is also popular in all countries. even if a user doesnt use internet knows what is the GOOGLE. So it is matter of Popularity
Dont forget that google join the search market when threre were lots of other giant players - which no one can beat - but they did it. after myspace - came facebook and twitter "which no once can beat" there will always be new tecnolegy and ways to promote...the web is full with surprises
At this point, I think that the only one that can hurt Google, is Google itself. Over the past few years, there's been a grumbling of sorts (if you could call it that) by people who aren't necessarily getting what they want with regard to local info and search. The large indices (Yahoo, Google) have gotten the message .. albeit somewhat .. that something needs to be done on more of a local level with regard to search. Both Yahoo and Google have implemented certain plans to address the local search questions, but it's felt that not enough still, is being done. Google, somehow thinks it's enough to list sites like local.developer.com and mytravelguide.com in the top results to handle the kinds of local queries that are going on. If you visit these kinds of sites, #1, you would not find what you want, and #2, there are no down and dirty direct local listings .. only summations .. people don't like those kinds of results. Over the past few years, small, local, search entities have been popping up that are intimate with the needs of their local communities. I can see this progressing over time, and it may not necessarily bring any major search engines down, per se, but they may cut into the revenue flow to the larger search engines over time, and hamper their ability to sell local advertising.
Trouble being that there really isn't much technology out there that is younger than 5 years old. The Youtube, Facebook, and Myspace technologies existed as far back as 2002 (or even earlier) .. Google merely bought that technology.
I too think they cant beat because of many reason, few reasons which i think yahoo and msn contains a lot of Extra things on search page like, forex, messenger, buzz and many many other things which mostly users dont like while searching
No. The reason is google is controlling or having 70% of the search engine market, mean that all other search engines combine together can only get 30% of the market. 70% against 30%, the result tell the answer
