Linky to CNN article

Grokker Site

Interesting to keep tabs on, and I'd be interested in trying Grokker out. Google is a huge name, though, and will probably still be more widely used. The way it looks, though, Grokker may be easier to find specific information faster.

Yeah, huge opposition there- says 49 dollars. Even if it is better than google, so long as it costs money, it will be a major downfall in the ammount of people who use it.

I'll use Google, for these reasons.

1: quick and down to buisiness.
2: Mozilla Firebird supports this in address bar "google hatrack orson scott card"
3: light weight (Fits in with #1); only pictures are Google, and g's, o's, l, e; and google bar ad. *Note: The entire size of a search for something is around 15-20k meaning even on a modem I should have it within a few seconds*

So, with the above said, I will continue to use google over anything even if it comes with fries and a coke!

As CNN says, about finding maps for the paris hilton....

well, you need to learn to search
(rabbit.cow +"tree")

They say that you can't find maps for the Paris Hilton hotel *In Paris*

(paris hotels map hilton) = 3rd link.

Seriously, the google interface is all I need, and works.

Grokker looks confusing. Google wins just on that.
