Life Before Google

gameratheart
Well, I never needed to search for anything on the web before I found out about Google. I used to use Ask Jeeves whenever I needed to search, but it soon became too crap for me, especially now it's just Ask.com

I don't know how long ago it was when I first found out about Google, or how, but it's all I've ever used since. Well, unless I'm searching for the meaning of a word or the history of something, THEN I search Wikipedia (which I only recently learnt about).

I used Yahoo, Ask Jeves and Meta Crawler - all in combination for each search. Sometimes Yahoo gave the best results, other times Meta Crawler or Ask Jeves. I remember being a frequent user of the Yahoo directory which was an ok service (at that time) for quick information from a selected range of internet sites within one particular category.

Seriously, Google has been the only search engine I started using. It has gottenme through tons and tons of homework and essays in high school. Now that I am a college student, Google has never been so important to me. I need this search engine. I hope they never go away. Before my Google days, I used to use AOL search, Altavista, and i think Yahoo. Then I found google. when i had found it, it wasnt that big and it was growing rapidly...

well i've used yahoo.com and ask.com before google. i've also used a local search engine (i think it's local, since the name is a local expression) named yehey.com. it was kind of a rip-off of yahoo, something like a local version of yahoo.com
