By Jakob Jelling http://www.sitetube.comIn this age of keeping
search engine capabilities clean and providing a less is more approach, Google.com has emerged from virtually out of nowhere to be
leading engine available. People like Google because they aren’t barraged with useless information, flashy banner ads and most of all, annoying pop-up advertisements. People want to get their information fast and without being inundated about
newest car or fad diet. Enter a new player into this domain A9.com.
A9.com was formed and opened in Palo Alto California in October 2003. Branded as a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., A9.com is looking to take over where Google left off. You may be wondering what makes A9.com any better than Google? The answer is that A9.com offers users search results from five separate repositories. Google.com provides
web and image section and book texts are offered by none other than Amazon.com. Vast libraries of over 120,000 books on
market today are at
users fingertips should they need references. Movie and theatre references are drawn from IMDB.com otherwise known as Internet Movie Database. Gurunet.com provides reference information to this site as well.
What makes A9 interesting is that it captures or snapshots previous searches into memory. As
user searches
web abroad they will continue to build their own history file in case they need to research
information again in
future. A9.com also provides a detailed diary that you can maintain. If you think that Google still may have a stronger hold because of its toolbar capabilities, think again, A9.com has its own toolbar as well. By using
A9.com toolbar, users can retrieve information previously searched quickly and more efficiently.
