I like my search engines the same way I like my women
Sun 14 Feb 2010 by Matt in Totally RandomThat is, Smart > Funny > Beautiful.
My past girlfriends should not take offense to this, because I have been very lucky finding smart, funny and beautiful women. And more recently, lucky with my search engine! Google has had some really neat Olympic themed backgrounds the last couple of days. But Google only wears makeup on very special occasions! Usually I'm stuck with a highly functional search engine that is not pretty, but gets the job done fast and very well. And apparently, I'm not alone!
Take a look at the Alexa Top 20 Sites on the internet. Google owns 6 of the 20 most visited sites on the internet! Sorry Microsoft, Bing still hasn't made the list. Live.com is number 5, but you would think that Bing would be higher with all of the money Microsoft has been throwing at marketing it.
For lazy people and a future reference:
