Many people like using google but I always prefer msn because the page looks nice. They are not so messy.
Sometimes, I feel like there are too many pages in google right now and the result usually irrevant...
What do you think? _________________ ==>English Quiz |English Grammar |English Conversation<== |

I still like Google the best. In general, I find that Google's first hits are usually the ones that I wanted. I have almost never found them irrelevant. |

Google is good, but sometimes I would like Baidu when I need to download music.
Here in China, Baidu offers such a great funcation: searching music! and that's the fastest way to listen to a song or something like that. |

jesse, Baidu is mostly for Chinese sites, I doubt it will be of use to you!

Baidu becomes the top 5 ranking website in a short time only becasue Chinese use it.
There are thousand million of Chinese and that's enough to drive some website to the top of the world...
Another interesting Chinese application is qq. It becomes competitive with msn oly because it's popular in China _________________ ==>English Quiz |English Grammar |English Conversation<== |

I don't like QQ. because it looks so dashing like a prostitute. But MSN's interface looks very graceful like a decent woman. |

because we always want the biggest advantage for us. And if we have more results, we think it could bring more advantage to us than less results. That's why we like Google. _________________ If I say "I love you" to someone, then I also have to say "I also love everyone else inside you, I love the whole world because of you, I also love myself inside you." -- Erich Fromm, the Art of Love |

I wonder how Google makes money? since it's totally free. those people who run Google have to live with money, don't they? where is their money from? |

Their money is from advertising. They also made a lot of money when they went public and issued stock in the company. |

But when we open google page, we don't see any ad. google's home page is so clean and neat. maybe they sell their advertising somewhere else. |
