AltaVista - i remember her well. the only search engine i ever made any serious money with. Man Google came out of nowhere and just steamrolled AV and the others. BUT the lesson is there, people are very fickle and Net surfers aren't nearly as rigid and stuck in their ways as in other consumer markets and when Google can't or won't fix the spamming problem a new engine will pop up with clean relevant results and they will flock to it the same way people beat a path from Alta Vista to Google. Google also needs to check its Microsoft-esque greed - different biz they're in than Bill Gates, they will pay a big price if they try some of the shit they want to try.
