Android Walks Out of the Mist (Linux Journal)Android Walks Out of the Mist (Linux Journal)Posted Sep 24, 2008 9:31 UTC (Wed) by tzafrir (subscriber, #11501)In reply to: Android Walks Out of the Mist (Linux Journal) by janpla Parent article: Android Walks Out of the Mist (Linux Journal)
Anybody here uses a default search engine that is not Google?
I don't currently have any better alternative. Yahoo comes close sometimes. The fact that search results point to the server is a major pain and waste of time.
I distrust MS-Live even more than I distrust google.
I tried several other alternative, but there's currently nothing that comes close.
(I'm not using any of their other services, if possible. I'm forced to use gmail at fork, and avoid the web interface there: download all the mail locally and use jabber clients for talk)

Looking at the logs of one of the websites I run, out of all the referrers gained from search engines, Google only has a 60% share (which is why I don't think Google has a monopoly - they're simply most popular because they offer a better service).
Personally, I use Google as my start page and have a very short bookmarks list.

Are 35+% from Microsoft (Windows Live or whatever they call it those days)?
I am asking because, after all, computers come with Windows preinstalled, with IE as the default browser, etc...

For the past seven days:
Google:65%
To put it into context, popular browsers:
Mozilla5:40%
OS's:
XP:55%
Below those levels are meaningless shrapnel.
