    I was using it in 90s, back then it was on top of the game. But then came the Google.

    I used Altavista till Yahoo bought it.
    Now i only use babelfish, and check for my sites ranking every once in a while.

    Maybe 1 day we'll barely remember google. (Unless people has a nostalgic desire to search for spam :p )

    Google has become a standard... Only if Google can't find something, I turn to other search engines like Yahoo and Altavista.

    Like you the last time I used it just for search was 5 - 6 years ago if it pops up in my logs as a natural search I will investigate other than that is is the big 3.

    Hardly we can claim SEO to be our primary reason to start googling.:)

    Google is much more powerful in all respects - that's all.

    Altavista was the first search engine I was told about in school.
    Then I learned about Yahoo. And then I grew up. Not using any of them anymore. Just Google.

    Well it seems that if someone starts a new thread of "How many of you use Google?" will get thousands of positive answers! :)
    Ok I was wondering of how many of you do not use Google?
