So I've gotten used to Google's search results, and how they are pretty clear cut and satisfactory for me. Usually what I want is one of the first results, and almost always on the first page. Granted I'm pretty good at my searching techniques so that probably helps, at least I think so. Recently I had been using Blingo, which was powered by Google, because there were slight odds of winning something. In fact I had won $150 from them once, and one of my friends won an iTunes gift certificate, therefore I did too. However, I haven't won anything for two years searching lately. So when they switched from Google the other day, to using Yahoo, MSN, and ASK, it wasn't too hard for me to give it up. Ask never gave me good results, I refuse to support Microsoft, and Yahoo's games don't work on Linux, and they are about to be consumed by Microsoft anyways.
Well I could just use Google (now that I've gotten through purging my Blingo connections) without using anything in between. Though I liked the idea of possibly getting something back for searching, which I did a lot of anyways. There is another option though, instead of me getting something back, I can give something back to someone else. My only qualm though is that it uses Yahoo search, so to be the results seem a little cluttered and not as good, but it may just be a chance for me to get off my "high horse" and take the opportunity to lend some support.
So I will be using
Goodsearch and adding a penny to
Lutheran World Relief for each search I do.
