How about a little applause for Google

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

I was just thinking that all too often we take some of the things we use the most for granted.   This made me think about search engines.  I have been asked many times which search engine in best and though it has changed over the years at this point I would resoundingly say - GOOGLEGoogle does a really good job of trying to present with web sites that are truly about what you are looking for.  Several years ago it wasn’t uncommon to ask for one thing and from a search engine and get something entirely different.  Google came along and changed the search engine by focusing on content rather then listing anything that said it was about something.  Google looks at both the intended content as well as the actual content of the web site and does a really good job of giving you back what you asked for.

Oh sure, the longer you have used the internet probably the longer the list is of the things you could say about Google both good and bad, but in respect to how it used to be and how much better Google has forced the search engines that are still around to give us what we are searching for, I say good job Google. 

If you havent tried it give www.google.com a chance - I think you will be glad you did
