				WTF Makes Google So Popular?
			 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...d=aLGzp7N3ccb0 Google is reaching $100 Billion in value. WTF makes Google such a money maker? What happened to Yahoo? What if a new search engine emerges or 'can' a new search engine emerge to give Google a run for it's money? |

				 | It was one of the few SEs that weren't crippled by SE spam back 1998-2000.  I remember the initial buzz about it... "WHAT?!  Search results that are actually relevant???" lol |

 I remember in the old days guys making adult search engines like there was no tomorrow just in case adult sites were banned from main SE's. I guess the main SE's realize their traffic would drop like a rock if they banned adult sites? | |

				 | Well, Google's technology was one of the few that used links re ranking relevancy.  Of course, we're several generations from their first version but you have to admit--they're search results had consistent quality. There are some things in the works re custom search results  Quote:

				 | We've all missed the most simple and best reason why Google is the SE of choice over Yahoo: Just type in their URL and you'll see. You type in google.com and you get Google.com. You type in Yahoo.com and you get shit all over the fucking place. Google is simple, no need to scan through tons of shit to find the search window. Google, you just show up and you're ready to go. Yahoo died from bad design. |

				 | Matter of fact, if Yahoo switched to just a plain interface they might beat google down. |

				 | Google became the best because it caters to the computer geeks.  their technology and innovation is far superior to all the other SE's in my opinion.  whenever they come out with new products it is something innovated and not copied like most other SE's.  also, they open up there technology to developers and programmers through API's which no other SE did. and the list goes on.......... i can personally say these are the reasons i like google....i'm a techie myself and find these what keeps me coming back to google and staying interested in them.....hopefully they stay that way after becoming a public/corporate company. |
