I just did a comparison between Lycos and Google. I searched "NEC MT840". Lycos gave me 10 results on the first page, 3 were from nextag.com, and the rest were from pricegrabber, shopping.com, shopzilla.com and other sites that basically regurgitate your search entries back to you ("Great Deals On Anal Fisting!"... "Shop For Nudes Courtney Cox DP Ass to Ass Here!")
In one page of google searches I found product specs, user manuals, the company that manufactures them, and where to buy them.

My first day of college a professor was talking about doing research, and said "This is college. We we do research we do not ask Jeeves." 5 years later I'm interviewing for a job, and they asked how my researching skills were. When I asked what they meant the first thing they mentioned was using Google to find images. I could confidently say (after years of being a dick on the internet) that my skills were excellent. |

I think it'd trust Excitebike, Dig Dug, or Bubble Bobble to find me worthwhile information before I asked Excite.com |
