    Claim Google Is Illegal,,,?

    Google drives traffic to sites which have advertising and ad revenue of their own. If anything Google should charge for the indexing service they provide, but they don't because their overhead is covered by advertising with Google's search results. What Google and other search engines might do is call Murdoch's bluff by NOT indexing Murdoch sites, and then we shall see what happens... Somewhere above is mentioned that print news is 18 hours old and with search engines constantly crawling news sites, we often get news that is seconds old and everyone benefits, Murdoch, search engines and the viewing public. It WORKS and that's the way it should be.

    Websearch Trivia

    How about the environmental impact of broaching such trivial issue? Betcha, it is more than ten thousand searches. What's next, the environmental impact of flatulence? A more focused issue may be the environmental impact of trivia. It may be a more worthwhile topic for the environmental impact police.
