Re: Altavista engine killed quotes

To me it seems like Bing and Yahoo just copy and follow Google. The
results in the serps right now at Bing and Yahoo are almost exactly the
same results that Google had about 6 months ago, and I'll bet if you
could go to the future 6 months from now the results at Bing and Yahoo
will be almost exactly the same results as Google is showing right now.
Neither Bing nor Yahoo have an origional idea in their heads. Google
isn't the great search engine they were 4 years ago but they are still a
good search engine and better than anything else out there right now.
The trouble is whenever anything gets too big the quality always goes
down and Google has gotten too big. The same thing happened with Excite,
AltaVista, ODP/AOL. They were all at one tme the top best search engine
and then they got too big and went downhill. What's different today from
years ago is whenever the top best search engine got too big and went
downhill there was always another hungry search engine ready and eager
to take their place and become the new top search engine. Now there is
nobody eager or ready or willing to take Google's place as the new top
search engine. Why that is I don't know? You would think there was
somebody out there with some great new ideas that would improve and
advance search? We're in a void right now.
