    I don't think there will ever (in the foreseeable future) be a new popular search engine that will take-over from Google. They're not just a search engine now. They're a brand.

    Think differently. Google like you to think they're a brand. In fact, they're an information gathering machine. What they do with that information? Who knows...

    Do no evil my hole.

    have to admit they got greedy but now they are a big corporation and sold out so they have to make money for the investors....

    not everything in life is free but the internet has made a lot of things free.

    at least they are a while off taking on firefox with their chrome browser :pac:

    For me I think it was the simplicity of the whole thing and the search results tended to be better. iGoogle seems to be going against their original theory since it's basically a web portal like Yahoo, AltaVista or MSN.
