some facts for you (no, i dont work for them):
1. rediff's been around since '94, has been on the nasdaq since '00 (trading at $7.76 when i last checked), has had US offices since '99...
2. rediffmail clocked a million subs way back in '01 and runs on international grade server farms in india and the US.
3. rediff utilises backends from akamai, google...same as msn and yahoo.
so hey! dont switch to rediff if you arent based in india, but take off your US centric blinkers before you diss the service.
i wasnt able to find anything that talked about the composition of this goop.
if it has an organic base, it might be inflammable. which means that if it caught fire, as it may well do incase of rioting, it would be nightmarish to get a bunch of slipping people to run to safety.
the complete absence of anything relating to its chemical composition sounds quite suspicious
...and they know that they have millions of diehard fans out there because they are good. The day they stop being good, the fans will go away, just like they did for altavista and countless other search sites.
if the paid ads in google are likely to compromise on the quality of my searches, i'll search somewhere else. simple!
which means that unless they are very dumb (and we already took care of that in subject itself), google will not let the ads piss off its users.
so we can continue to keep google as our homepage and let them make some money for that.
what happens when search engines start mixing paid links with "normal" search results?
already many popular sites do this without so much as an indicator to help the searcher. so while google and other search engines ^may^ have taken care of the cybersquatters, it wont be long that marketers of the world run to exploit this usage pattern....
considering the still-trying-to-stabalise- infrastructure in my country (india), often it seems like the entire world united to populate the Net with only 404s:(

many years ago, command on demand allowed comprehensive web based scanning for free. but then, those were pre crash days.

Does this mean that earthlings would not be able sit at the same table as those inferior plutonians?
