Yea yea yea, a lot of the same stuff. Google is great evethng else stinks.It's getting a bit boring already. check out this search tool its really cool

Google still a big gorilla

 Yahoo and Microsoft's merger negotiations probably made them seem like two desperate companies about to go under.

It's all been great marketing for the Google-rilla.  

Ask has the fewest searches, which is too bad - but when I use Ask, I find what I want right away, so maybe that's why there are fewer searches.  I spend less time jumping around.

 

Bravo Google Search
