According to a Newsweek article dated Nov 5 Google may have some competition. Making money off the Internet in this R/W age always causes my head to spin. Google’s global dominance of the Search Engine world allows it the luxury of adding Ads to their searches, to the tune of $12 billion dollars according to the article.

But they are NOT the only search engine out there, not by a long chalk. Here are some others, but be prepared to sit and wait a while, certainly compared to Google’s 450,000 server blink.

Spock

Yahoo

Acoona

Ask.com

Clusty

Sproose

Wikia

KartOO

Squidoo

The irony of it is that in order to find these unfamiliar search engines I Googled them.

I wonder if any of them would suit student search better than GoogleKids.
