Digg, delicious and dp point forum. These social bookmarking and forum are the best alternative of google.
So, Google is king and will be king. Bilions of people use and they are not going to use anything else! As a programmer, I can say that Yahoo has some "power", because they offer search API.
I prefer dogpile if not google..its really cool as it combines best results from google, yahoo etc etc
scour would be a good alternative to google. bcos they combines the results from google, msn and yahoo, and you will get paid to search http://www.kazvy.com/content/make-money-search-online-scour-pays-you-search
I can't take Dogpile seriously when they scatter sponsored results in among organic results. Not cool at all...
google is, of course, the obvious one. however, can't help thinking that 'power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely'
I an agree with you , if you are looking for something than try some top social networks and you will sure get good results .
Sadly, right now, Google has no effective alternatives in search engines. Maybe we will have more organized human oriented search engines in future.
For a what kind of usage? in searching information nor useful websites, you can even use other topped search engines like Yahoo and MSN. But for me, Google is the Best among the rest! heheheheee.... Google is doing great in me...
But OP is expressly asking for alternatives, NOT your opinion, or that of those members, putting Google as the one-plus-ultra on earth Do a search for "contextual advertising" using any search engine, because there are also a large number of these.
google is also called as a big search engine....where in the world from small thing to large things can find out in google...When the new product launched in market we can get the total details of product by searching in google.... ========================================================== jackkatewinslet1
