Well, _I_ Won’t Be Switching Anytime Soon

Dave Winer: “[Gigablast is] designed to make transitioning from Google as painless as possible.”

How about a little vanity for a Saturday? When I search for “Cameron Watters” (quotes omitted in the actual search) on Google, Yahoo, alltheweb and Alta Vista, my site is the first (un-sponsored) link. On Gigablast, Teoma and Wisenut I don’t even rate a first page listing. All the results those engines do list on the first page are by and large to the same place.

One other small downside about Gigablast: The Add a URL feature is disabled at the moment. It’s probably just some technical thing that’ll be resolved soon enough. I probably shouldn’t jump to any conclusions and accuse anybody of a conspiracy or anything before all the evidence is in. That would be really foolish.

UPDATE: I’ve removed some of the stronger language in this post that may have been cause for offense to a prominent blogger. My original comments were tongue-in-cheek, but I don’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings and my comments may have crossed that line. Mea Culpa (sp?)
