The Changing World of Search

I surf the internet waay too much when I should be doing homework. Google is permeating everything. Every webpage I see on the bottom left hand corner is something about Google analytics.. The new Blogger blogs now require Google sign in.. When I took my SEO course, the teacher told us all to beware Google Picasa, which pretty much allows everything on your computer to be noted by Google.. I wonder if data being gathered is shafted off to the US government a la the Patriot Act. Well, I guess if you don't have any skeletons in your closet or couldn't care less about your privacy, that it's not a problem.

Other search engines don't seem to be as effective as Google, however. Yahoo and MSN search quality has quite noticeably declined. Search results are either old or no longer working. If anyone knows of a better search engine, please let me know. I've tried a lot but nothing so far is as good as the big G. Anyway, here's a pic I haven't seen before: Ohlund celebrating with Bertuzzi.
