Googling along

I am fed up :cry of the invasive nature of google, page after page of repeats on its search results, aahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
is there life without it :confused

 

Bing it!(MS) A decent search engine that bundles results. I like it better than Google for that exact reason! Plenty of similar others too.:major

I hate how if your signed into Youtube then go to Google your signed into your Google account.

But I'm sure a large do no evil company like Google would use targeting advertising or doctored search results based on your Youtube viewing.rolleyes

And yeah Tony I've noticed the quality of Google search results seriously dropping off as of late,multiple repeated pages that are from different dates,have slightly different address's but are through the same site or the same page hyper linked through other sites.

It does seem like the pages that contain information related to what your looking for no longer have any chance of being viewed anymore and Google is now totally reliant on hit count and linking as if your being constantly homed in on the pages Google wished you to view.

I dunno if anyone else has noticed this 'more so' recently?

I saw an article about Google search results once that explained how Google's results are never the best possible results they suck just enough to make the most money,I would guess they have decided to simply make more money.

All unfounded Rant speculation of course:-D

 

Agree with LauraR.
Although I have lots of Search engines that I could use, 95% of the time the first couple of links in Google find what I am looking for.
Not very often do I have to go past #1 page.

Google wants to be Everything.
It wants to be an ISP.
It wants to be a search engine.
It wants to be E-mail.
It wants to be a social Networking Site.

 

Yep. Greed is good.:-D :major

So what would they advertise to me : I like to watch videos of snakes biting people, and people getting kicked in the crotch .
:cool

 

Cheap psychiatrists :-D

 

Pet stores and shoe stores. :-D Maybe pet stores that sell snake food?

 

Personally, I love google. I've spent many hours viewing far away places like Japan, Italy, and South Africa with the use of google maps/street view. It's really cool that I can see what places look like that I'll probably never get to see in person.

 

That Street View is really amazing.
In fact, it's a little eerie.
I put in my address, and saw my car in the parking lot. rolleyes

I could see my mother's house or my brother's house a couple thousand miles away.
A little like Big Brother and 1984.

I bet nobody ever imagined that when they first heard Sputnik's first beep, beep, beep.
