what's your Google predictions for 2004
 

I predict that they team up with one of the big cell phone companys

I predict a lot of predictions about google that turn out wrong. Google does it's own thing as always.

I predict in the next 3-5 years they won't be number one anymore, I think you will see ATW move up to the top spot. Just my 0.02

WRONG for so many reasons
tooo many to list
seriously

I predict I'll own it within 4 months

I predict all my sites will appear at the top. :Graucho

I like google more than most people but they really need to do somthing. ATW for me most of the time shows more revelent results

Microsoft will buy that thing.. Google? ahha I remember that,
they got me also, advernture starts here, click me, click me now

While google is busy ensuring spam succeeds M$ is quitely working away at tying their new engine and "internet search" into longhorn. This is why they won't bother aquiring google.

By the time longhorn is out google will have long done themselves in anyway.

I foresee that Google will become more money-hungry.

I also predict a lot more strict filtering of commercial sites on main search results as Google tries to promote it's merchant thing "Froogle", and of course to get people to pay for adwords.

With all of this happening Joe Surfer will notice that their Google isn't as relevant as it once was, and that news sites aren't always the best source of information for a search and begin to leave Google for Yahoo or MSN.

It's happened once before with an engine called AltaVista, noone ever thought they'd get moved either, until they turned their results into what amounted to a big, paid ad.

It's all gearing up for the Google IPO


And then there was Teoma (my personal favorite at this time)

ps. AllTheWeb is going nowhere, it is a test site for the FAST engine which was bought by Overture, and Overture was bought by Yahoo... but I do like the FAST results more then Googles at this time.

google will be the same with only slight difference to surfers


google will be completely different and difficult to webmasters.

Teoma is great sends me a lot of traffic
