    it’s interesting how google’s “competitors” (note the quotes) managed to out it in niche markets (compared to the world wide web...it is niche)

    Same battle going on in the middle east region where smaller SE are trying to get their piece of the pie such as ayna.com and maktoub group.

    Nationalism worked with baidu.com but I wonder if it’s going to have the same effect with ayna or maktoub!
