I was curious regarding the rating of sites, in particular, some
of the "mega-sites".
Microsoft I could care less about: I've supported them for almost
20 years, have been a certified system builder, have the original
NT Workstation CD (and diskettes) plus many, many legal CD's of
their many operating systems .
They've ALWAYS given my a hard time, been rude on the telephone,
offered NO SUPPORT, spy on users more than all others combined
IMHO. Their latest mistake that really cost me was for some reason,
a hotmail account I've had since 1999, with thousands of e-mails,
suddenly tells me I'm entering the incorrect password, yet I was on
the account just 3 weeks ago. And there's no one to help with this.
I can hardly answer security questions and other info I entered 10
years ago either.
Regardless of all the babbling above, my real concern is Google,
which Ghostery supposedly has blocked right now. Who has the
courage to tell it like it is about Google? When I say this, I
first mean the actual performance and service they provide as an
actual search engine. One searches for practically anything, and
after you get through all the paid entries that pop up first and
repeat page after page, you just might possibly find what you're
looking for. And who uses Scroogle and Scroogle scraper ?
Who's even heard of them ? My main concern with Google is it's
dominant presence on
the net and users having no choice at all and in essence, having to
submit to "King Google".
Rating Sites......Risky Business ??
