Why the big deal about Google? Don't most governments have something more serious to worry about? It's nice to see that they aren't just picking on Microsoft. Google has been getting a free PASS on a lot more stuff than Microsoft did for the longest time, and I think it all boils down to it's stupid slogan. This has less to do with Google's prevalence as a web search engine and more to do with it's "tendrils" reaching out and guiding users towards it. FIREFOX defaults to using google. This is not because it's most popular- it's because Google sponsored mozilla. So, if MS defaults to Bing and so forth for searching, they get flak, but it's alright for Google to pay Mozilla to do the same thing with Firefox? And I don't even think chrome even gives you an option, it just sends you straight to google as your home page. A lot of people use google. But, it is no longer the "best" search engine. Sometimes google searches turn up squat, so I break down and use bing and find something right away; sometimes it's the other way around. I don't feel it has the lead in search ability as much as it originally did, and the fact is very few people use bing, or any search engine other than google, google's dominance in search has to do with them having an early advantage and becoming so popular to the point of becoming a verb that there is absolutely no mind-share left for any other search engine. |
