That’s why we at Bessed still feel there’s a place for human-powered search results. It’s not a plan to “kill” Google but to give a human-vetted option. In many ways people are already using Wikipedia in that way; we feel that in time we can provide another option for those who want the hand of a human involved in their search results.

Why would they need to be “like (or the new) Microsoft” in order for me not to trust them? I trust Microsoft more than I trust Google! I do not think it’s fair to group them into a company that they are so different from.

My vote = [x] No, I do not trust Google!
