Nothing new…Google is King and Google pays me to use Google.
I think Google share is 88%– if you go to a public library, you see all of them using google.
inevitable… Instant is the first real improvement of the Google SE
Hate instant search – it breaks my thoughts and stirs into the results I didn’t want to see orignally. Hence use google simple search on goog.ly.
