Alternatives to Google: Try 'Em, You Might Like 'Em

Yes, we all know how wonderful Google is. It's the be-all and end-all of Internet search engines. Or is it? While the major search engines like Google and its close competitor,Yahoo, take up most of the market share for Internet search companies, new, specialized search engine alternatives are popping up. Take, for example, become.com--an Internet shopping search engine. It focuses your search by product type. Or, there's jeteye.com and kaboodle.com, search engines that combine the features of an Internet search engine with a blog, allowing you to surf the web, save your searches, add text, and email results to friends. If you're tired of sifting through long lists of businesses, try merchantcircle.com, a nifty little engine that allows the user to conduct geographically focused searches for businesses in various categories. Why not give one of these new guys a try? Maybe there is life beyond Google!
