Well... I didn't see this topic anywhere else.

Good or Bad?

And why?

I'd say bad, as after using them for just over a year, I'm quite bored of using them, I have found a new beta one, which is quite nice and I mostly use it now.

ahah, that explains it lol. No I think google is over expanding, not cool. I dont know what i'll use in the coming future, maybe wikipedia lol.

tvcokecan · #6 09-02-06, 07:01 PM

*Cough CometQ*. Lol, wikipedia could make a good search engine for information, atm there search is lacking

Some Google features I use:
searching
images
video.google.com
calculator > type in "9/5" and it's calculated
Google definitions > write in searching field: "define house" and the first result will be google's definition of the house.

Complete list of Google searching features

Other:
Google Sitemaps
Picassa

Wow. I like the results they get you. Thanks for the link.

PunjabiSingh · #9 10-14-06, 01:37 AM

if google buys wikipedia, i think we'll have an online monopoly.

gacon · #10 10-17-06, 12:26 PM

It is the best search engine in the world . It is free and work so fast .U got spyware ? It causes of urself , cant find any information , read the features carefully , u can find all thing u want

Deadman · #11 10-17-06, 07:00 PM

Jerlene · #12 10-17-06, 10:18 PM

Looks pretty good, but one suggestion. For the site image preview, the ones you have for my site are months old. Check on loading the timestamp, and if its, say, two months old, show an "Updating..." image in its place, and recache the image, then load the updated image into the page without reloading using Ajax.

arcadepunk · #15 10-18-06, 05:09 PM

I like google. I use it all the time with no problems, the main reason I like google is because it brings in like 5-10 people to my site a day without me doing anything

Google becomes bad when it get to biggy its a thing they have to live with when they grow same a Microsoft. Soon ipod is not going to be cool as well

Jerry · #17 10-19-06, 08:11 AM

I think Google is far better and quick with search results compared to cometquery which is very slow. In cometquery with every search term I get a message that says,
"You are the first to search for this! Please hold." LOL
I also checked the time required to search same term on both google and cometquery and there was a huge difference fin the results.Google took 0.13 secs to search well as cometquery took more than 30 secs.So I think that google is far more better, as it saves me a lot of time.

AAZZ · #18 10-19-06, 03:05 PM

I would say...bad.
I would like everyone to take a look at this piece of text:
http://www.google-watch.org/gmail.html

Gmail privacy agreement is very messed up. For the first time in Google history, their new policy made it clear that they will be pooling all the information they collect on you from all of their various services. It is in their Privacy Policy that they may give your information collected by any e-mail sent out or has come in by g-mail to whomever they wish.

Google’s Privacy Policy includes that “Gmail account holders have consented to allow Google to show any and all email in their Gmail accounts to any official from any government whatsoever”.

google can be good and bad in different aspects, it brings up loads and loads of things for you to look at, but that's also it's downfall as alot of them aren't actually to do with the thing u put into the search bar, if you don't like google try Yahoo, Msn, Ask Jeeves, there the big ones i know

harsha · #20 10-20-06, 10:19 AM

coolll
