Google is at a fast pace right now. They are raising the bar. I find it very interesting that Google made this announcement since Bing just went through another over haul. You can bet that Bing will not be far behind added something new or better soon. As far Yahoo!, the CEO issue really did not help them much, none actually. Bad PR Yahoo! If they can do some great thing’s Yahoo! still has a chance to capture some visitors and revenue again. There is another search engine still gaining ground and that is Blekko. They have made some strides recently as well. Although FaceBook is a major player, I never have found there search to be useful. I think FaceBook should stick to the social media services and stay out of search. They probably will not do that, but I can say I will not be a searcher on them.

Google is cutting off traffic to the sites it indexes. Soon there will be no need for the Web just Google and Facebook

I confess I didn’t know that the Taj Mahal was a mausoleum.. I’ve changed to ‘structure’ above to cover all bases ;) As for the singer, he’s definitely real.. I own some of his music!

Also, TIL there is a singer named Taj Mahal!
