MSN totally dominates my logs behind Google. However, as my sites are in Looksmart, I don't know how relevant that is. Direct Teoma hits on my sites are irrelevant. However, looking at the logs ask.com, while behind MSN, is relevant. >So - I would argue that academic roots = better SE - but taking it one step further, research = better SE. And Google, by far, seems to have the most (current) research articles floating about, with this or that bit in them...patents help to - Inktomi / Altavista I think have the most 2 of any engine (so far...) Altavista? Are they still relevant? >What does Alltheweb have, in terms of 'academic' claims to fame...? Who cares about "academic" claims to fame? What counts is who in the market can best challenge Google.
>Hm, Ink (MSN) is by far #2 in my logs :) But yes, in part, I think Teoma also does well because they have a research paper out there :) and Brett mentioned it, after his interview with their founder...
