I did try Bing, but usually the search results were useless and I had to go to Google to find what I need. Too bad, the UI was quite good. But perhaps by now the search results have improved, I shall try Bing again. I did use Altavista for quite some time (until Google appeared).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kadajawi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 9th 2010 11:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have used aol since the beginning. It's frustrating at times, but so are the others. I don't feel I fit the above profile about aol users myself, but evidently that profile fits many of the idiot birthers and right-winged zealots who leave so many stupid comments.

My reason for aol is because I have tried both yahoo & google, & I have had some majorly serious issues with the use of them.  Yahoo is mostly filled with scammers, so everytime I try to use yahoo I get hit by spam & scammers endlessly.  Personally I got tired of trying to get rid of all the issues that hit my computer each time I tried to use it; viruses & trojans everywhere!  Plus the end result of typing in whatever it wass I would  look for left me still wishing to find what it is I was looking for.   Yahoo never takes me there right away.<br><br>Google....my daughter is now is 9th grade, but back when she was in the 3rd grade & using a school computer for a class project, she typed in what she was told to type, & up pops a porn site, AT THE SCHOOL!  Even the filters supposedly in place did not block it.  I also have the same issue with google for the ease of finding things, or should I say "the lack thereof".<br><br>I like aol search for the keyword function.  It is almost always precise & I can almost always find what I want from scrolling the 1st page of possible findings to  my search request.  Now that to me is smarter than trying to fight the wanna be's for search engines.  It is also less time consuming & allows me to do more than sit & endlessly search!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Yvvonne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 10th 2010 8:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[That Yahoo profile matches my mother-in-law perfect. She uses Yahoo, is old, lacks imagination, and I'm sure she feels she can't control her future just from her attitude towards life... :P<br><br>How funny!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 10th 2010 9:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've always used Google, it's up on the top right of my MacBook.  it never occurred to me to use anything else, really, I have no problem finding things with Google.   I'll venture into Walmart, I'm not proud!  Name brands mean little to me, I like bargain hunting.....That's hilariously true about the AO Smell users, ick, like turning over a rock with them - all misspelled, frothing with hate, fat peons!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lassie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 10th 2010 9:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[So what about Dogpile?  It is a search engine of other search engines and you can use very specific search criteria and still get hits without as much garbage.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gail]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 10th 2010 1:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[When I use Firefox browser, I cannot access Google. So I use Bing. However, I also have Google Chrome browser, which my daughter prefers, and sometimes I use. I was looking for directions to a new school, went first with Bing, wanted to see the aerial picture, and the school didn't exist-- yet. At least Google's picture showed the building was in progress. I think a lot of research is hooey. People use a) what they are used to. b) what was on their computer to start with. c) whatever works best for them. End of story.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Patsy Kingsley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 10th 2010 3:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[How about I use 10 different browsers depending on what I am looking for.

Either I am the statistical exception or these folks don't have a clue.  My vote is for the later.  I use Google because it was the first search engine with any content back many years ago.  Now I go there out of habit.  It's even become part of my slang as I "google it" frequently.  It has absolutely NOTHING to do with where I shop or what kind of car I drive or any ot that crap.  People, one size does not fit all.  You need to quit trying to make that the case.  Really, find something meaningful to do.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[timothyccampbell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 10th 2010 10:40AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[People who use aol for their news source, have to get use to doing without the comment section. It is probably a lesson in things to come. Others comments are interesting to read and sometimes helpfull in looking at things in a different way. So it is only right that it should be taken off with a promise of bringing it back someday before having a new and improved section to take it's place. I can't help but think that someone posted something that wasn't appreciated by aol or people of influence that they know. Just guessing at 3 months and counting.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ycav4424]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 10th 2010 10:30AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/02/09/your-choice-of-search-engine-says-a-lot-about-you/</guid><description><![CDATA[Don't say anything about aol taking the comment section off of their news stories.
