Googlebashing: Alternative to Google Search
Saturday, 11 August 2007

Googlebashing: (v) - The act of putting a negative light on Google or one of its components; including but not limited to employees, CEOs, and applications. Synonymous with Googlebash. Googlebashes (pl)

I thought I might as well continue my Googlebashing tyrade, since I have a little momentum going...so here is a writeup about an alternative search engine I like.

Gigablast is an "alternative" search engine, as it is not quite as popular (yet) as Google or Yahoo. But since I have been on a tirade of Googlebashing, I thought I would let my Googlebash continue with this.

Gigablast does everything you would expect a search engine to with a nice, clean layout. They are a bit unordinary. First, they suggest various related searches at the top of page which can be helpful in figuring out a topic. This feature is called "Gigabits."

More importantly, they can serve any query as RSS. To access the RSS version of a query,  append  &raw=8 to the end of the search URL. Example. (Note: I won't even go into how useful that would be for black/greyhat SEO...*wink*)

Anyway, you should check Gigablast out, alongside some of these other alternatives that Pandia put together, as it is good to Googlebash sometimes.
