I'm seeing Microsoft go on a major ad offensive. Bing, Win 8, and tablets.

I honestly want to know what you people think on search engines.

what the fuck is a chacha

**rush2049** · 10-31-12, 04:32 PM

chacha is a service from AOL (I think)

You can text the phone number (242-242) with a question and one of its 'answerers' will text back the best answer they can. Usually you also get an advertisement text or two before or after to pay for it.....

I don't think they are actualy a search engine on the computer.....

Questions & Answers | ChaCha

Eh, BACK IN MY DAY, chacha was still in beta testing. Which was when it was good. When I was in highschool, jesus titty, chacha was actually just like google only when you searched the queue went to chacha employees who search the web for you, filter the results to what you looking for. You had a chat window on the page where you can give further information. Like if you were searching for a song that was from a tv show. You could explain that. You could also fuck with people, gettting into arguements about who won in the new Rocky movie, and how if Rocky wins, it's racist, if he looses, he must be taking a dive, and doing reverse racism.

I first started to notice how seriously sucky Google was getting in 2008. I mostly use meta-search engines now. I used ixquick for a while. I tried DuckDuckGo. There are others.

I'm back to ixquick for most things. They offer a few interesting variations.

I'm always open to try new things, and am happy for suggestions.

Lots of things.

Google hasn't quite yet got rid of "advanced search", but they keep making it harder to find and they've removed some useful tools. When I know some very specific things about what I'm looking for, I want to be able to filter search results in those specific ways.

As for privacy, I'm mostly interested in opting-out of the data-guzzling advertising beast that is Google.

meh.....eff it. Google doesn't know shit about us compared to Visa.

As for the OP.....I am just ignorant enough to find bliss with Google. Bing annoys me.
