    I'm a fan of alltheweb.com. But I believe its been powered by Yahoo!. (at least when some thing errors is give a reference address xxxxxxxxxxxx.yahoo.cccc\------ cannot be found etc)

    Any one know if this site will also roll over to the Bing service?

    Good the more companies that advertise with Bing are just more companies to avoid when buying products.
  5. I'm using Google from now on. Yahoo! has sold their soul.

    Google is not the only search engine (well for sheep it is)
