Re: Is it just me?
Why isn't what is "good enough" for Microsoft, good enough for Google?
Not valid.
When your buy a computer you Get IE (and Bing) you have to make a choice to pick something else, the Ballot makes it easy. Once you pick Firefox you have Firefox (and IE) and don't keep getting the others popping up asking if you want them now.
1. With this you have already made an active choice to switch to Google. It's not Bing that came with the computer.
2. They don't want a one time choice (add our bogus price search results to google). They want to be added, all of them, all the time, at the top. No Choice.
If Google was going to give me a choice I'd like a "never show me results from this domain again" feature.
I might actually think about logging on to Google if I could make sites like www.shopbot.ca, www.mysmartprice.com, and all the fake review sites go away.
