You may be familiar with Google, Yahoo, Bing, Kosmix, Wolfram, and Cuil. But have you heard YANDEX the largest search engine in Russia or GINIO a new search engine taking Latin America by storm. Does this remind you of the US banks!! Once the largest banks in the US were competing each other that they forgot outside the United States exist another world and one morning they woke up to the fact that the biggest Banks were Japanese banks and not US banks. Don’t you think one day google, Yahoo and Bing will wake up being smaller search engines known only in the United States?

You should already know that google is the number one search engine.
Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. As a first step to fulfilling that mission, Google’s founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin developed a new approach to online search that took root in a Stanford University dorm room and quickly spread to information seekers around the globe. Google is now widely recognized as the world’s largest search engine — an easy-to-use free service that usually returns relevant results in a fraction of a second.
Bing is a search engine that finds and organizes the answers you need so you can make faster, more informed decisions.
Wolfram|Alpha’s long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone.

I am always on the look out for technology that simplifies life. Today, I found this Doodle which is neat technology that helps for example taking poll where to meet and what not, scheduling and planning events. Very simple to use and it is free. As I say, if it is not free it is not for the Joornaal.
