Default Can Windizi compete with Google?

I doubt it personally, but it's a great approach to viral marketing!

Anyone know the inside story here? I heard that he uses Google back end for the search... which has a wierd sort of irony to it

I like it. I especially like that you get the little pix of the site page to the left of the links. I also always support these types of grass roots efforts and hope to see them do well. Sign me up!

Default Re: Can Windizi compete with Google?

NO. They can't....Why? Because Google and every PR sucking webmaster in the world says so....Because you no longer make a search for information, you Google it......

Let's say for instance that you run a car manufacturing company......We'll Call your new car prototype the Ford Jumpen.........If that car was so widely accepted as the model for all other cars to follow that from this point on, instead of saying "let's go driving in the car", people say "let's go jumpen".....No other car manufacturer could touch you, especially if it were a company like Saturn......Get what I'm saying? My point is that it doesn't matter what any little guy says or does, they will never be the next Google until they first become the next Yahoo....

Webasters won't re-do their sites to perform well on other engines, Google is the only one that sends the most traffic all the time.

Now if they can deliver visitors... maybe we'll notice. I hope they can.

For decades in the UK we all used to Hoover... but now we get the Dyson out.

It's pretty rare, but just sometimes the little guy can make it.

Yea, I think Google's market share is there for the taking, due to growing concerns about privacy and search results which are not really great.

Google doesn't need to upgrade their search quality but need to add some feature that will be best for users. Google is still the best in terms of search result.

That seems rather change to use a title this you have. I don't really know how this site can compete with Google if they are using google search for their backend. lol.

Even if they were not, then it will take them some serious work and money to compete with google as google has gone so far now that it will be hard for anyone to catch up.
