Hi all Came across these two links - Google Watch Scroogle WTF? Is Google evil or is this dedicated to just plain, jelous, success bashing? :dry:
Google is not evil. They are a publicly traded company who offer free search and blogging services. Revenues are generated by per-click adverts in which the user chooses to click. I don't know why there is all this bashing, the guy seems to make it sound as if we're all paying a high price for this Google service and we should be getting a lot more from it. If you think Google is bad, why not create a site about the flaws of Microsoft? Now that'll need a big ass web server. The writer is entitled to his opinion, but IMO it seems unnecessary and he needs to get out a bit more, if you don't like Google then f*ck off and use MSN search. Edit: I also don't agree with the attacks on Wikipedia and wikipedians. wtf?
A recent university study found that a vast majority of users with an IQ/education level which was above average preferred Google as their primary search engine. Google and Yahoo had a near-even even split on those of average disposition, and MSN had the majority of low-IQ/uneducated people. Maybe this guy was in the latter category?
And I'm more than Happy with my GMail Google make there profit by offering there services for free, i/you can find just about anything using google... dam them for allowing us that possibility! This Guy's also having a bash a Mozilla.... Mozilla Foundation evades taxes on its Google windfall, guess why? because Google is the default search engine... i WANT it to be the default! and even if i didn't, doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to change it
