Alternative Search Engines

When the throne has been occupied by the same smelly obese opulent king for too long we should be concerned. Even more so if the king’s predatory tendencies make him obliterate any and all competition and is showing no signs whatsoever of being content with anything but complete world domination. Competition is a healthy thing. All fields of business (and government) should have plenty of it.

After having been an early adopter of Google, as well as one of its loyal subjects, I’m starting to think it is time to look at alternatives. Don’t get me wrong: I think that Google provides a very good service (maybe too good), and I have always thought highly of Google’s creators, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, enjoyed reading “The Google Story” but as stated before: competition is a healty thing.

I shall be looking for viable alternatives, if any still exist these days. Perhaps we should wait for the creator of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, to come up with his implementation of web search…
