Jeff's World - Search Engines I’d Like to See
With the advent new search engines Blingo, “Didn’t-Iwon already-do-this-but-with-cold hard-cash” and Accoona “If-we-are-the-circle-of-life,-why-do-we-have-an-infinity-symbol-in-our-logo” I thought now would be a good time to cash in on all the money being thrown at the new *cough* Google killers and suggest a few truly original search engines.

If any venture capitalists would like to back these projects, I’d be quite happy to go dutch-auction with them. The business plans are set, I have legions (ok 3, thanks Mom and Dad!) of loyal readers just waiting to search, so don’t be shy Mark Cuban. I know you like search!(Ice Rocket? What kind of name is that?) Menlo Ventures I am talking to you!

Really, these could work, well maybe not, but they’d still be better than AltaVista. (I really do like to kick a man when he is down.)

Raccona: For nocturnal omnivores; PPC prices go up at night.
Poople: For all things scatological; just similar enough to Google to suggest a connection, but different enough to avoid a cease and desist letter.
Dragoona: A Russian cavalry site; if you don’t come we will crush you…you imperialist dogs!
POL: Petroleum On Line, a division of Adam&Eve.
Vigorish: They do absolutely no PPC, but don’t worry; they always get their money.
Yahwehoo: Our motto “From the Alpha to the Omega” (I expect a bolt of lightning any second now)
Onomatopoeia: It’s just like it sounds. (go ahead and Google it…I mean AskJeff it, see below)
AskJeff: It’s always the right answer…and if its not, shut up. It’s free what do you expect? If you don’t like it, go back to looking things up in the encyclopedia.

I’d love to hear your suggestions for search engines in the comments; if your ideas are as good as these, we’ll be able to afford to make Page and Brin our personal valets!

That’s my 2 cents, wait make that 10 cents for my minimum bid.

About Jeff's World - If you're a regular reader of Search Engine Lowdown, you'll no doubt have become accustomed to reading the caustic comments offered by "Jeff". We've decided that Jeff's comments are far too entertaining to let languish in the world of our "comments" section and so, we started a new regular irregular feature entitled, "Jeff's World" ("Jeff's World, Jeff's World, party-time").
