"You happen to know any alternatives to google ?"

None that are great.

Politics aside, I've never been big on Google. "Page rank" is a cute little algorithm that's used as an alternative to keyword searching. It deserves recongition in the million-dollar range, I think, not the billions which the company is valued at. A better system could spring up overnight and - given computer history - probably will.

Google shares slip on third-quarter concerns

Google is falling to Earth. The hype is being swamped by reality.
