I got it not too long ago, and I love it. The results are good, and the features are what i wish all search engines had. Just not looking forward to when they sell to venture capatilists down the line, and everything becomes terrible.
In the meantime, everyone should check out their Small Web intiative. Gives you a random blog or small website. There's some really good articles I would have never read otherwise.
Itβs like stumbleupon!
I loved stumbled upon! it's got repetitive after a while, but I found a bunch of stuff I never otherwise would have
I have also discovered very interesting blogs or site that I have then added to my RSS feed. They also offer a lens to only look within the small web, which they index themselves I think.
Judging by their ethos so far, I don't think that's a goal. I'd almost say it's a non-goal.
I hope you're right, but there's plenty of well meaning projects and people that saw a large amount of money being offered and blinked.
