Yahoo and MSN? Nah – they are even worse. Usually though, I find what I’m looking for best by searching through the various social networks. While Google has been running away from the Democracy of the web, these other sites are embracing it in a big way.

If you want to find the “most popular” links, they’re on Digg or Reddit. If you want to find the “latest thing,” its on Twitter. (Twitter is also great for finding people)

Google… well, Google usually just takes you to Wikipedia or Youtube. They do send me a good bit of traffic, but I rarely find similar kinds of blogs & individual opinions on the search anymore. Its better for finding “official sites” and local businesses, I guess.

Have to disagree with you that Google’s search is “becoming increasingly irrelevant”, what other options are there? Yahoo, MSN? No thanks.

My website dropped from PR3 to PR0 yesterday. I hope it’s just temporary.
