Well I’ve been browsing many blogs and reading up on my RSS list and a lot of blogs have been talking about Google’s Page Rank updates, well downgrades for most, and how Google is handling websites that do things against their own TOS. For example Google says no to: paid links, paid reviews, paid posts, link exchanging, spam, and many other things. Most of that i can agree but some great blogs get bitch slapped by Google because they use one or more of those things against their TOS but do not spam and that pisses me off because to me it sounds like Google is saying “Hey look at us, obey us, and only use our services, and only make money from our ad program Adsense, or get slapped by the mighty Magic Algorithm!” Yes that cuts down spam results in their search but it also deletes great blogs, Google may think, who cares they are just blogs not on Blogger. And I think that approach makes Google not the greatest thing ever. And here is a video from ShoeMoney, which I completely agree what he says about Google.

That said come on Google wake up, give people what they search for, ie I search John Chow I want to find John Chow’s blog which is JohnChow.com, not a review or an ad that has John Chow in it, but hey I have to give you some credit for finding it with johnchow.com in the search box but come on. Again Google come on be the number one search engine, use your dominance to your advantage and make a search engine and have the results that should be in it. And if you ban me for this then way to go, nice step forward. (being sarcastic)
Now what do I have to say about Google’s Magic Algorithm, well nothing, what I have to say is YAHOO! IT not Google it. That is right my homepage, and default search engine is Yahoo! Also it is my homepage because Yahoo main page has everything, yes it takes a little bit longer to load, but it is worth it to be able at a glance see what is hot. Also the home page has links to many other services I often use, ie Movies, Answers, and just Yahoo News in general. But I still use Google’s GMail because it is truly the best, free POP3 and now IMAP, 
but i do use Yahoo mail from time to time but my main account is GMail.
So my question if what do you guys use, do you want what you look for or do you want what Google says you are looking for?
