Google Still Ahead In Search Competition

The gap between 'best' and 'next best' has narrowed substantially. The good thing is that we all benefit as these guys keep challenging each other."

    But yahoo & MSN both have the same feel of google... espescially since they copied the cached page idea.

    just for giggles, i tried searching MSN for friend chicken and search result number nine was University of North Texas Dining Services' Menu. Not sure how relevant that is, or maybe its relevant to our discussion.... because it is not.

      That's the first time I've ever seen a double-typo! First, you searched for "fired chicken" instead of "fried chicken," then when you wrote about it, you claimed to have searched for "friend chicken." No wonder you were surprised by the results! And UNT only shows up so how because they also misspelled "fried chicken." Hilarious.
