AnooX is why Google is down and will go down MUCH more
by 207495111267145837975635436522 February 28, 2006 9:46 AM PST
I think the reason for Google demise is this new
search engine called Anoox. You can find it here:
www.anoox.com

Some of the reason I will write about here quick:

1- Anoox is open source, and distributed. This way
many world wide will control Anoox search
engine. This is the Internet model. Google &
Yahoo are the TV model.

2- AnooX promises to not enter any other business
but be in the search engine business only. This
is great news for small to medium size
businesses world wide.
As a small business owner I can tell you that I
would not want to use/advertise on a search
engine, such as Google or Yahoo, that tomorrow
can enter my business and surely
"Kill" my business as a result.
JUST think about this fact to see why anoox is
such a better search engine for us "the people".

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

4- Anoox advertising rates are like 90% lower
than Yahoo & Google. Because of their community
based biz model.

You can read about why AnooX search engine model is better in detail here:
http://www.anoox.com/anoox-better-search-engine-model.jsp

Given all these reasons, many are going to switch to anoox. I know I myself as a small biz owner have switched my advertising to them and every small business owner I know who becomes aware of
anoox is also switching their Advertising to anoox.
After all why would we want to pay 90% more in
search engine pay-per-click Ad rates to Yahoo & Google and on top of that not have the assurance that tomorrow Y & G will be entering our businesses and as a result Killing them when
we have this assurance from anoox!
And as a search user I use anoox because I can affect the result of the searches by my voting, because it representers the knowledge of
the people.


PLEASE: Google share holders or web masters who make money off Google WebAds (Click fraud) do not attack me. Don't shoot the messenger. I am just saying it as I see it.

Although I agree with most of your premise, I think you are wrong about the most important
reason why Anoox is the better search engine than Google, it is not
because AnooX promises not to enter other other businesses but it is because of
the fact that they are Open & De-Centralized.
This fundamentally turns upside down the business of Yahoo or Google, that is why
should I in Munich Germany get my search results from a company in San Jose
California? When Anoox enables a German search engine provider to offer me
search results. I am sure a German provider will be in much better position to know
about Germany than a company in Silicon Valley.
And then add to this layer the fact that Anoox search results are optimized by the majority
vote of the people, in this case the German people, and now you can see why Anoox
search results are much better, because they are so much more representative and Democratic
in nature compared to search results for everyone in the world coming from a company in Silicon
Valley.

A quick search of google for "Sandra Kerns" returned about 149,000 results.

A quick search of anoox for "Sandra Kerns" returned zero results. It suggested "Sandra Ferns" or Sandra Kern."

While I live the open source model of anoox, I'm sticking to google.

Gee how about a product where you can search encryptively that will destroy your tracks and keep you anonymous? Even anonymizer hasn't come out with a decent solution yet. Just promise some anonymity and people will buy it...duh
