Commodifying Search

“In fact, it would be great to have a plug-in that randomizes between your choice of providers as a way to wean oneself off over-reliance on a single search engine.”

-Albert Wegner

I completely agree with this thought and have been using Bing more often and in fact recommended it this weekend. It’s fascinating to me that I have absolute muscle memory loyalty to Google, but absolutely no financial or really utility loyalty to Google. The thought of this plugin must chill Google to the bone. Then again, that they have something like 90% search market share on phones must ease their worries a bit.

My guess is that we’ll have a search randomized plugin within the month and I’ll be using it.
