Good morning boys, I just read this, written by a friend, it is an anouncement for the next weeks... big changes will rock the whole Internet... read on: Over the last few weeks, I have had the pleasure of meeting a big search engine guru. He told me the space of the webisphere will soon change, and people are sick of google (including me). He rambled on but I listened as he has a strong accent. Some of you might know who i am talking about. The mood of social, media and publishing online will soon change big time. There is this perception that these big search engine just care about money and have lost their way, to them page ranks and methods of algorithms are important and they think it is helping, but it is actually cluttered with many junk sites, ads and affiliate offers. If you do have offers on Google, Yahoo MSN, Bing and you think that customers dont mind this. Guess again, most of these people are switched on, and actually hate these things. The more they are faced with purchased ads from advertisers, the more people realise they are getting bombarded with affiliate offers, ads, junk emails, television shows, radio ads... people are getting a sour taste in their mouth when they search. He said they can no longer tell if their search results are genuinely going to help them, or is just some spammed advertiser blurting an ad in their face promoting a product and for them to buy now. In a recent survey conducted most people want this form of what they call SPAM to stop! He was saying there is investors who are coming up with some sort of NEW search engine that could replace google, or become an equivalent. People are sick of google. This search engine would replace old ways with new ways of keeping business and results organised. Simply put the engine will run differently and it will be alot easier to find real geniune sites, without having to sort through crappy garbage and advertising offers. Most likely there will be no form of adwords or similar advertising to clutter the pages with, while the user is surfing. Apparently it will be totally different. YES, you hearing me right. There will be almost no advertising. Or none at all. This web browser is going to be advertising free. The annoying sites that steal peoples content will not get a chance with this as there will not be any money to be made on this. Eventually he told me that advertising and spending thousands on Google adwords or yahoo, could start to be a dormant and a something in past, when people realise the new technology on offer. I thought about that for a second. It would go viral very quickly to spam haters across the world. Just think of that. I think the average person who uses search engines in 2011 does not want to be bombarded with advertising as they are searching each day. Instead of adwords, spam, marketing and stolen content people want real hard core info, you know that is credible and authentic. He said in a way we will be going back to the good old days, when search engines were just that. An engine to search and find really good info quickly. NO nuisenses, and annoyances in the process. He did not give me a timeline, but he said it is coming soon. Please save this thread and see if this actually happens. He was so passionate and excited when he was talking. What do you think about this guys?
Google will always have huge presence in the online world. They may change over time but i am not sure any search engine can survive without advertising.
I do not mean any personal insult, but your post is a bunch of hyped garbage. Everybody and his brother has predicted the end of Google. Yes, someday Google will be replaced but only because everything ends someday. As of this post Google is worth $187 billion US. It's not going away any time soon.
Agreed. I highly doubt Google will "go away." But people thought the same thing about Myspace. So you never know for sure.
I'll believe it when I see it How exactly would they screen out spam sites? Without ads, how are they going to pay for something so large? Costs over $300 a month just to run my little forum...
You said "This web browser is going to be advertising free", so is it about a search engine or a web browser. Also, how the hell is it possible for a search engine to block the ads on a website?
The big G will be the front runner for a long time,they currently have the wonga to diverse away from the main stay search facility just like YouTube etc,so your friends may well bring out a new search engine but to get up to what Google are at the moment will be many years.But cyberspace can change very quickly.
I don't really agree with the person who told you all this. because all this system make these things stable, because if they don't do advertising things, who will be paying for all their asserts and workers? As google itself got a number of people working in different countries, so its totally wrong. I am happy with advertisments.
Reading the insults over here, it seems that I touched some sensitive chords into people's hearts. Change is always hard. 4 years ago all my friends were on myspace and hi5 and noone on facebook. If I would have told them at that time that myspace and hi5 has no future, they would have reacted the same...
To be honest, and don't take me wrong. Your friend fail. I heard this story so many times. New search engine better than Google, we will destroy Google, etc, etc, etc. Please will Google offer something different for their android phones? Did your friend now that Android phones are currently the #1 platform for smart phones? Android has the most users currently. So I don't think Google will offer something different. Bing is #1 currently because he is serving also from Yahoo and both are not far away. I wish you and your friend spek the truth. But who is your friend? I got friend that says Google will stay a big player for many more year, maybe until quantic computers come out.
