Comments on: Google’s Demise http://jamie.ideasasylum.com/2008/08/googles-demise/ Jamie's thoughts, ideas, musings and utter drivel. Procrastination with a purpose!

It's just as likely that Google will come up with something new. They've got plenty of smart people. This was just my observation that a) links are no longer rare and therefore have lost a lot of their value and b) the links people are actually using are the one Google is now ignoring. That doesn't bode well. The recent Cuil fail was particularly fun to watch though. Even more interesting was Yuil/<a href="http://www.4hoursearch.com" rel="nofollow">4hoursearch</a>: a Cuil-clone built upon Yahoo! search results (in 4 hours apparently) which was far superior to Cuil's results. :-) Yeah, the title is pure bait but I wrote it off the top of my head late last night.

Googles search results are becoming less relevant all the time. They're great if you know what you're looking for and are very specific about it otherwise you just get half a page of adds and you tube and wiki fucking pedia links. I have my search page set to 100 cause you never find what you're looking for on the first one or two. Indeed google do alot more than search but search is what pays the bills.

Thankfully you didn't. If there is a google killer out there then that's not it. But a bit of competition wouldn't hurt. 2) If google got surpassed in search is that the end? They do a lot more than search - they've got their bases covered, me thinks. 1) I thought you were going to bring up Cuil (not worth linking to). Thankfully you didn’t.
