		<description>interesting views...

however we have to admit that blinkx is having a great technology in place and it is the biggest video search engine in the world right now. they are hoovering on a daily basis all the net...their monetization system works better than anyone&#039;s else. small company but very dynamic and innovative.
my opinion is that google (or a big player) will acquire them soon and it would be definately a wise move.</description>

		<description>Gord, I seriously doubt that I missed it the first time. As for my ignorance, allow me to keep it as it is. At least it provides for journalistic integrity and verticalness, which doesn&#039;t happen at Telegraph as I see. I think you still miss the point of the article, proven 100% by my most recent blog entry that shows 100% that Microsoft does not throw in the towel, that there is still competition against Google - strong competition and that the search engines I mentioned (Powerset, which you don&#039;t like and hakia) ARE serious competitors. And Gord, next time you comment do me a favor and be polite.</description>

		<description>I criticise you so you think I must be the author of the article? Bit defensive, isn&#039;t it.

I&#039;m not, but the way. The author&#039;s name, prominently displayed at the top of the text, is Julette Garside, and my name&#039;s Gordon. Or do you think I&#039;ve gone in and added that too? Is it possible you just missed it first time round and made up a load of guff in your indignance?</description>

		<description>Hi Mihaela - this isn&#039;t getting the coverage on his side of the pond it should be getting, so I&#039;ve blogged about it here:

		<description>I have #1 in Google forever and this SE has me #6. A competitor that is 35th on Google is ranked #7. I&#039;ll stick with Google.</description>

		<description>@ Gord, 

Interesting, I read the resident article before it was changed and there was no &quot;indeed&quot; in the text, nor should there be if this were the original text. Why indeed? As far as talking through a hat, I think someone else should put their thinking cap on and click their heels...perhaps the Telegraph will come back in style and we can tap out signals to one another at 10mbs. :) 

I will never cease to be amazed that people in such positions can never absorb just criticism. It is as if you think Mihaela is doing this out of spite rather than honestly trying to point things in the right direction. We are certainly not the &quot;keepers of the gate&quot; when it comes to all things Internet, but it should be painfully obvious that you guys sure as hell don&#039;t need to be. 

I think her problem is shared by many of us. We are tired of divisive companies bending the universe. When will someone just spend as much money making something of actual value as they do forcing people to believe what is often BS. As PR people, the general perception is that we do this very thing, but anyone who has even a pea for a brain knows that at the end of the day..there has to be something in the glass slipper. 

Changing an article to include &quot;indeed&quot; Telegraph after the fact....would they do that?

Always, Phil</description>

		<description>Oh, Gord... you added an &quot;indeed Telegraph.co.uk&quot; and you think that&#039;s going to solve everything? Nice try. The problem? How can you even call Songza and Ablegrape alternatives to Google? The most disturbing thing is that you, or whoever the article&#039;s author is, didn&#039;t even bother to proof the source saying that Yahoo threw in the towel. I think I made my point clear in the first part of the article - it&#039;s enough for you to follow some links to see what I am talking about. And why do you mixx pears with apples anyway? 

The Telegraph article is clearly promoting Pixsta and Blinkx - they are featured first, on the main page of the article, whereas everything else is pushed on page 2 where not many would venture to read. Personally I don&#039;t care that Telegraph is promoting its sponsors, but make sure the disclaimers are visible and don&#039;t misinform the public about the other search engines.</description>

		<description>Sorry Mihaela, but you&#039;re talking through your hat. The article clearly states that Pixsta is used by the Telegraph (along with 120 other retailers) in the first paragraph of that section, it&#039;s true that Blinkx only searches its own customers but it doesn&#039;t claim to do anything else (rather like your tip Powerset, which only searches Wikipedia) and yahoo have handed large sections of its business to Google to avoid being bought by Microsoft, which can fairly be described as throwing in the towel.

I can&#039;t see any claim that they&#039;re all UK companies, or that they&#039;re all going after Google&#039;s core business. In fact, that&#039;s exactly what the article says they&#039;re not doing, but they&#039;re search-related enterprises approaching areas of computing from another way.

What&#039;s your problem, exactly?</description>
