Do you not use Google? Why?

[72930]

I don't know anyone on the tubes not googling, are you one of those people?

 

[iSaint]

My high school students use Ask Jeeves. I try to explain to them the proper use of Google as well as our education database, EBSCO. They don't get it, they just want the easy way out.

I use Google.

 

[pianoman]

i use Google.

 

[jknight8907]

I love Google. I live and breathe Google.

Google is good. Dr. K approves Google.

I'm a HUGe google fan. I use Google Doc and SpreadSheets(at home I used Pages over Docs, but I always use Spreadsheet and at school I copy+paste to Word at the end when I print if its an offical project simply because I know how to make things look nicer in Word then I do in Docs)

I also have a Gmail account, also google to search, and I use the browser google pushes for FireFox

I use Google and get frustrated every time I try anything but Google.

Google is too damn fast and good (gotta love it when you type in "failure" and hit Im Feeling Lucky and it links to George W. Bush's page) for me to consider another search engine. I just want to find what I'm looking for, I don't need any of these fancy tools to make it more effecient. In fact, it actually does quite the opposite.

I tried www.live.com and even though the results are satisfactory, there's just something extra cool about using google. It would take a lot to get me to use anything else (I've been using Google since the days of using Lycos and Hotbot).

I'm a big fan of google software. When i had windows i had google desktop, and google deskbar, google earth and i also have a gmail account. I think google is doing big things right now and with such great products that are free i guess i can see why?

I like Google and use them almost exclusively, but I still don't like their interface/layout.

 

[Quboid]

why wouldn't anyone not use google????? Know what i heard, if you use google ever minute of everyday for one whole year, you finish the internet...............i joke!!

 

[Xeem]

I used to use ask.com and yahoo search, but I pretty much use google exclusively now because of speed and browser integration.

 

[wmmk]

I use google because it's become a habit and I have gmail

 

[theman5725]

I use Google to search web, images, and news. I have a gmail account. I use Google earth. I sometimes use Google spreadsheets and docs.

I love Google.

 

[Felldownthewell]

I never use anything but google. Works better than any engine I've ever tried before, plus it has useful little tidbits like google maps and gmail (for my backup email account)

 

[kerpow]

Only Google. Tried Live.com the other day and its not as fast. It does have some nice features and plugins like msdewey.com

But I recently setup Google Reader as my RSS reader so it would take alot to move me away from the big G.

I use the search bar in Safari. It searches in Google, so I guess that's what I use.

I have a few adwords with Google, so I periodically google certain search strings to see my listings on the right hand side show up.

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

I use Google a lot (though more and more their non-branded developer version searchmach), for generic searches.

But, just as often I use one of my other firefox search engines...

 

[AdeFowler]

I'm a Googler. The interface is just fine for its purpose, the Safari search box is very handy, the alternatives ain't great imho.

 

[Case-sensitive]

Always google - but as someone above said, more from habit than anything else.

 

[dextertangocci]

Google

 

[kretzy]

There are other search engines?

 

[luminosity]

google didn't get to $500 a share by being a lousy search engine.

(yes)

 

[clevin]

i always double click and context search, or cmd+k, so google is always first choice.

 

[AlBDamned]

I heard a guy present today on search and he stated that in the US, Google has a 55/60% of all search, whereas in the UK, it's 80% to Google. Does that tally with people's thinking?

edit: I guess not if you look at the poll results...
