The Death of Search Engines?

techconsumer.net — The idea is that people don ’t need to go to a search engine to find what they need. If they want a review of a product, they will go to Amazon or CNET. If they want to find out about a place or person, they will head straight to Wikipedia. If they want something funny or interesting, they’ll got to YouTube or Digg.

  • castevens, on 06/11/2008, -0/+2I use Google much more than I did 1, 2, 5, and 10 years ago. Yes, it's true that I can go straight to Amazon for product reviews and YouTube and Digg for funny and interesting things, but even in those situations I will sometimes use Google. I will search for "Nikon D70 Amazon" in Google so that I don't have to go to Amazon first, *then* search for Nikon D70.
    • lemonpies, on 06/12/2008, -0/+1I also use google alot more - but the landscape of searching is changing - sites like facebook are like alternative search engines - that have people recommending what is good or not - I ue google to find information and facts, but use facebook and Amazons reviews to find people's experiences, recommendations about quality/functionality or product/service, customer service, delivery times etc. - both google and a social network can be source for these things via a group or friends.
