Is there a site like Google?

In the last decade and a half Google had become ruler over web searching and other web services such as mail, maps, docs, etc…
It has sunk into our lives to the level that it is a part of our slang, as we say to “google” something or to “gmail” someone. The control over our lives and the problem with the information it gathers has been talked about a lot.
Google holds such a big part of the search engines market that sometimes we forget that there are other not so bad search engines. To see a list of google like sites follow this link Similar Sites to Google
Obviously there are sites on the list like Yahoo.com or Ask.com, these sites provides the same service that google does but with some variation in the results. What about the other not so familiar sites on the list, the ones who don’t give you the straight out search results. Have you ever taken the time to see what they offer?
There is no site like google but there are different sites that can and will give you some pretty good information.

It pays off to “Organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”

Last Thursday, Google released its 1Q financial reports. The market, which expected a slowdown in the company’s growth, was surprised to discover that even in this year’s first quarter, while the US is slowly sinking to a recession – the young company was doing “rather well”.

1Q Google’s revenues were $5.2 Billion – 42% growth from last year. Google is expected to sum 2008 with revenues over $25 Billion.

17,530% was the return on Google’s $530 strike price Call option– traded on 10 cents on Wednesday and $17.63 on Thursday.

Keep up the good work!
