Google webquotes

Wed, 11 Dec 2002 12:00:00 +0000

Google webquotes lets you see what other sites say about each of Google’s search results. This is such a useful feature to me (at no incremental pain) that I see no reason to ever Google without webquotes! (Google also has Google viewer, which to me is far less useful. And while you’re at it, may as well check Google’s extensive resource for webmasters) via Kiruba

Google-watch

Google-watch is against Google, because they’re unfair, and don’t respect privacy (via Salon). I still don’t mind, as long as I get good search results. But this “unfair” part I kind-of agree with. Wish Google would search recently updated sites better. And they’ve also got a point about the ordering. Sometimes, I would like to see the “less important” (low pagerank) sites on top.

Altavista after a long time

Fri, 22 Mar 2002 12:00:00 +0000

I searched on Altavista after a long time (oh, for no other reason than the fact that Google said I could also try my searches on Altavista, Lycos, Yahoo, etc.) and I was surprised how much the search results resembled Google’s.
