Default Search Engine

What search engine do you use? With Microsoft and Facebook having just struck a deal to integrate their services would you switch from whatever you are using now?

A Facebook/Microsoft merger of data bases kinda scares the hell outta me! That way too much too intimate info all in one place. I refer anyone to the recent story on the ACLU's website concerning those stupid little quizzes.....

Google has always been my favorite. It's the only search engine besides yahoo not blocked at school, and the easiest to use. After Microsoft embarassed itself with Vista, I'm not too sure it'll do much better with Facebook and a new search engine.

Now, what about Mystery Google...

haha its crazy.



Personally I like Bing to find some pictures. Still the only one that it was easy to find a picture of a truss mounted follow spot chair, I do however like google, I used to be a faithful "Ask" search user but its fallen quite a bit in the few years. RIP Jeeves
