Now that Bing is returning better results, I cannot imagine G would want to lose its reputation as the best and most consistent search engine for many years standing. Or perhaps we are entering a new era when the large companies, the on-demand media, the specialized sites without authority backlinks will rise to the forefront. Of course,there are many, many factors, but I expected the social media impact to be the most telling and not what I currently see.
