Before Google there were many search engines worth trying out on the Internet. Technically, many of them still exist. What, you haven’t visited Dogpile recently? Well maybe you should, if only to see what its puny algorithm thinks you’re searching for.
Punch “Am I,” “does,” or “can you” into the search box and Dogpile serves up wonderful, nonsensical suggestions. Ahem:
• “Can you get arthritis in thr face”
• “Am i required to attend sc divorce mediation hearings?
• “Am I evil?”
Who searches for this stuff? Judging by the results, either something’s funky with Dogpile’s algorithms or its users are seriously confused about whether they’ve murdered a bunch of people. Head over to Geekosystem for more autocomplete madness. [Geekosystem]
Dogpile…. Brings up the shite!
Another one I used in the past was mamma.com , the mother of all search engines. I think its about time mamma retired.
I HIGHLY recommend Speedy Pete’s Internet Directory: http://www.speedy-pete.com/
Seriously, what were they thinking with that name? Aside from a literal pile of dogs (which you rarely see) the only thing that name makes you think of is shit. Having people associate your brand with shit is not good for business.
When I google “Gizmodo is” I get:
- Gizmodo is down
- Gizmodo is a joke
- Gizmodo is this cat real
- Gizmodo iss
How is that for Google’s users..?
