Good job of painting a big picture
by Believe Brain March 2, 2006 6:22 PM PST
Stock dropped $40 two days ago by the CFO?s remark: ?? growth will slow ..?
Stock jump $18 within hours by the CEO?s dream: ?? $100 billion company ??

What next? Up to $450+ or down to $300-?

Anoox Sucks
by Charleston Charge March 3, 2006 8:02 AM PST
The relevency of the search results are horrible at best. Do the majority of people care if this company promises not to enter other areas of business? No. Most people want a search engine that is fast and relevent. Annox provides neither. Am I a Google shareholder or webmaster. No. Do I think everything Google does is the greatest. No. But I do think they provide the best search engine around.
I am just saying it as I see it.

I agree, Anoox is a real alternative now for the people

Anoox is with its community based business model of not caring about
profits or share prices is going to make life hell for Google & Yahoo's of the world
on the business front. I mean if you can get advertising on Anoox for 90% less
than Google or Yahoo because Anoox does not care about profits/share prices,
then why buy Advertising on Yahoo or Google!

But what I think is even more interesting about Anoox is its Open &
De-centralized model. This open model, in contrast to the closed & centralized
model of Yaoo & Google, is going to really turn the search engine business
upside down as we know it. I mean why should someone in France or Spain,
etc. etc. have their search results delivered by 2 giant media companies in
Silicon Valley! This smacks of real evil: evil of controlling what people worldwide
see/know by 2 companies.
That is why I urge all to back search engine models like anoox which De-centralize
the control of the search engine. Nothing can be worst and more evil than 2 giant
media companies in Silicon Valley controlling all people see/know world wide.

Does anyone know of any other Open & De-centralized search engine?
If you do, please let us know.

Isn't it funny how all the individuals who comment on how AnooX is going to bring down Google seem to be small business owners? It's also amusing how they all give the exact same reasons, phrased in almost the exact same way, with strikingly similar grammar and sentence construction. Now that I think of it, I think Cyrus even placed the exact same plea at the bottom of his last silly rant.

A conspiracy perhaps? Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

.... now you're wearing a skirt?????


Anoox still is the dog of the search engine world.

And you're not the messenger, you're the incompetent salesperson.
Anoox is absolute crap

Frankly, I don't give a **** whether or not a search engine vows never to enter another business. Face it, if there's money to be made and it makes business sense then a promise like that is quickly broken.

3- Anoox search results are in many ways better. Because they are machine generated and then Optimized by the majority Vote of the people.

Right, comparison time:

My Cold Heat Soldering Iron needs a new tip, and I want to find out: where to buy, how much it's going to cost, and what shape tips are available. I'm going to use 'cold heat soldering tips' as my search terms, and I'm in a hurry so I want to know quickly, without trawling through anymore search pages than the first.

Search 1, Google:

*Results 1 - 10 of about 559,000 for cold heat soldering tips (0.23 seconds)*
The very first entry is ThinkGeek, who are selling three tip shapes (conical, bevel, chisel) for $9.99 each. By chance, I've bought with ThinkGeek before and I'll probably end up back there for my tips.

Search 2, AnooX:

*Result 1 to 15 of about 814 for 'cold heat soldering tips' | (Returned in 25.310 seconds)*
Now, after a long wait (I seriously thought my wireless connection had dropped) I am presented with a list of items -totally unrelated- to soldering. The first result? "Madden 2006 tips, hints, strategies, cheats, codes and more." The remaining results fall down to things like, 'Organic Gardening Tips', 'Men's Dating Tips', and portable heaters. Totally useless.

Now, I know this is by no means a scientific test of the search engine (it is a real life example), but waiting 25s for a page of irrelevant results when I get better results faster with Google means I'm not switching anytime soon. I doubt anyone else will either.

Note: I don't have Google stock, I do not make money from Google Ads. If you're worried about your business going down the pan, get your finger out and keep an eye on local competitors... they're the threat, not Google.

Well, think Twice.

which search engine already get to every single Mind _? it is a psychometric marketing value.
Answer GOOGLE.

Even if we do believe that other technology or business models are much more successfull, Relevant or whatever, I believe it is too late.

You may be right, some are more intelligent ( ask Google Altavista Ask Yahoo MSN Accoona Anoox all of them this question : what is the opposite of NEXT _? no search engine is able today to give you a right answer )

My comment just relefects to the fact that google is behind in offering all new services just and just to keep is Based customer value Gmail Adwords Blogger , google print ads, Books, google Ads Videos Google Talk google Page Creator )
I am holding on my small project that can be connected to Google and allow anyone to Drive for FREE.

New product can be developped as well egarding what Google is aiming to attract.
