Google is removing conservative news sites from its news roll!

Something frighteningly ominous has been happening on the Internet lately: Google, without any prior explanation or notice, has been terminating its News relationship with conservative e-zines and web journals.

Vivisimo, Wisenut, Mamma are alternatives.
You have engines, directories, and crawlers
out there so finding one that does not access
a specific 'search company' takes a little surfing.
Personally I do not use anyone related to yahoo or google
due to their censorship agreement with China.

How about ask.com? Are they square with conservatives.?

Here's a nifty tool to see at a glance who supplies whom and who owns whom.

I like Alta Vista and have been trying out Ask.

Clusty has a Vivismo mention on it's home page..I'll go explore. I will use google at times out of pure habit..:(

I honestly couldn't tell you. I get most of my "news" from FR and use a search engine primarily for tracking down useful graphics. Yahoo and Google are consistently better than several others I've tried. On another note, when I do try to gather some information, I generally know roughly what I'm going to find. If the search engine doesn't return approximately what I anticipated; the fun(search) begins in earnest.

Sounds good, but is it possible?

[A CA Guy]

Sounds like this was part of the deal with Communist China.

Now that's clever. I'm not sure I follow all the arrows, etc, but the DMOZ(Mozilla I presume) has some interesting characteristics. Almost appear to be an enclave.

I went to Dogpile .....

So did I.

[Westlander]

google and teoma supply askjeeves.
askjeeves supplies ask.

[Westlander]

Interesting tool. It could use another 50 circles though.

I've never used google anymore. I have tried some other search engines for a while, and didn't miss a thing.

It seems to me Google must make most of its money from sponsored links. If you don't want to support them (and I don't) then don't use those links. Sure, they get a small residual benefit from the search from having more data to add their database and also increase their popularity numbers as we used them instead of somebody else, but that's about it. Or am I missing something?

Just changed my "favorites" line to Dogpile.com. :)

[browardchad]

Clusty is very, very good indeed.

Agreed. I've been using it for about six months, and don't miss Google.

[Caipirabob]

Don't use google any more.

Of course you know Dogpile uses Google, right?
