Reports that the EC (not the EU itself) has launched an antitrust investigation into Google following complaints from competitors got me thinking...
Google is a very good search engine, but doesn't always find everthing. For more specific things there are others out there - however there are certain competitors, such as "Bing", who, although may have some qualities which are commendable, for example the image search, on the whole it is, well, for want of a better word, sh*t.
Particularly when you install the Firefox toolbar for Bing, and it installs something which is basically spyware, you wonder what Microsoft is playing at.
My question to you therefore is - which search engine do you use and why? And if Google is so good (I like it because it is simple), why do other companies believe they can make something better by adding sparkly bits to an otherwise saturated market?
