BING! www.bing.com
I checked the first thing this morning and that has been added because earlier there was nothing.
Goodsearch.com ... you can choose a charity and a penny a search goes to it.
Thanks. Refreshing didn’t work, but signing out of my google account did. I’ve never had any trouble seeing other tributes.
Personal Democracy Forum reports that Google is again facing accusations of political bias for taking down ads, this time from the right side of the political spectrum. RightMarch.com loudly complained when Google suspended its keyword campaign that parodied an attack campaign against Republican Texas Representative Tom Delay. The RightMarch.com campaign used the very same wording to attack Democrat Senator Nancy Pelosi. Google claimed that both campaigns were taken down as soon as they were reviewed by actual humans.
That human element in the review process seems to have had some catching up to do, as the Personal Democracy story found many ads attacking specific political figures, such as Tom Delay and John Bolton. During the reporting of the story, though, the (mostly left-leaning) ads disappeared. These “attacks” remain a gray area, and Google’s own guidelines are deliberately squishy. Past incidents have typically involved the removal of left-leaning ads.
Google went through an internal process through the summer and fall of last year in which it tried to come up with better standards against which to judge controversial ads. It failed to keep this confidential development of internal rules private, however, with materials leaking out onto the web, revealing a hodge-podge of rules combining the principled with the expedient.
Google has had a difficult time trying to come up with guidelines for permissible ad copy in the commercial realm, never mind the highly charged environment of politics. And when it has made a decision to ban a certain class of ads, it has found it difficult to execute. Clearly google is left wing, no surprise. I’m enjoying “Bing”
This and many other gaffes by G00gle is why I use Bing.
I am impressed at the way Bing recognizes the holiday. I also kind of like the way the Bing photos make you think-- usually I don't immediately recognize them.
I love Bing’s big beautiful homepage photos.
Today’s was really appropriate and nice.
There's nothing at the gas station, either. Anybody whining about it? No.
I didn't see any tribute at the grocery store either. Anybody whining about it? No.
There's nothing about Memorial day on the FR home page either. Let's see some folks whine about that.
Different issue! If you can’t tell the difference, then you’re clueless. Have you actually read the points in the editorial?
Harvey Milk’s day will be lavishly celebrated.
So not today...
Yes, all the brightest folks agree that's the best way to choose a search engine.
Go sit in the corner, dumbass.
You're just looking for reasons to hate Google.
They've put up a tasteful little tribute, others have not.
Yet still you persist in the rabid Google-hating.
Feh. You are dismissed.
Those company or imformation source who don’t honor or recognized “American Holildays” have joined and believe they are Global citizens
To show any kind of recogniztion American Tratidions would offend other nations!
No one said different.
Of course they're free to enjoy the freedom paid for by our troops without recognition - when they recognize everything else under the sun. Doesn't make it RIGHT.
And WE are free to use other search engines - ones that do NOT, as does GOOGLE collect and distribute private information about us - and keep a record of every site we search - and a record of all our emails and chat conversations.
We're free to use other, just as efficient search sites - that do NOT collect our usage data...
Dogpile is one - Yahoo! is a site better as to privacy.
GOOGLE is little more than a window for Big Brother.
bumping along......
The bitching and whining around here about every little insignificant thing is getting tiresome.
