Study questions Google's long-term dominance

Vividence can't have it both ways: Vividence found that google is way ahead on providing a
"positive experience", and then question whether Google should
retain its honest broker policy of maintaining a clear
differentiation between search results and ads. Didn't it strike
anyone that there might be a connection between the two?

Google, for all its faults, has at least realised with clarity that
humanity is in a position to index and quickly access more of
our collective knowledge than ever before. Someone has to
undertake that task, and it would be a tragic waste of the
potential of the technology if it no one ever did it without the
distortion of paid advertsing mixed in with the results.

Whichever search engine has the highest level of trust, that
search engine will always have a secure and probably dominant
place in the market. At the moment that is Google, so long as
they don't listen to Vividence! Are these analysts crazy?; Posted by: paul@... Posted on: 05/25/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
