Mashable's Open Web Awards Shed Light on Search Engines

Filed in archive Search Engine News by Greg Cruey on November 26, 2008

Adam Ostrow over at Mashable has an interesting piece online this week about what the Open Web Awards say about search engines. While Google is among the top ten vote getters in the "favorite search engine" cetegory, it's not number one. Some smaller search engines seem to be mobilizing their fans and getting the vote out in these user-choice awards.

Of course, Google is at a disadvantage. People use Google because it works. But lots of us love to hate Google. So why would we vote for it?

Mashable has a clickable list of the the top vote getters at the moment.
