The “evil” google

posted by Karsten

Every time something becomes too big, I get the creeps. Call me neurotic if you like, its just how I am…

At the moment I really do not like that google almost has monopoly on my search results. Especially now that they are looking at buying doubleclick which would give them almost 360 view of me as an Internet individual.

So I'm on a mission to find other means of "googling"! I've tried my old favorite altavista but really don't like it, and yahoo is too structured and commercialised for my liking, although they do great radio and games though 😉 Ask.com doesn't really work for either, without knowing exactly why…

This morning I discovered clusty which clusters the search results from other search engines in tabs depending on the topics of the pages. The cluster algorithm seems really "clever", and I will be testing it for a while now. I've even downloaded their firefox plug-in, so I'm serious!
