Scary maze!

I was surfing the web during the week and one of my friends sent me a link to look at this video on you tube. It's basically about scaring the living daylights out of a young boy who is no more than about ten or so, while he is playing a maze game online. When I first watched it, I myself screamed at the computer I got such a fright. Then the second time I played it back and I laughed at the child's expense! Hypocrite- I think so!! The more I thought about it though I wondered is this a bit mean. What sort of People are we when we get humour from laughing at other people. In this case the boy was clearly completely terrified and I hold my hands up to say I laughed at him because I thought his cry was so funny! Here is the link below, see if you find it funny or just plain cruel.

Google as a Search Engine


Is Google all it's cracked up to be? Is it the best? Does it preform all your required needs when your looking for something on the Internet?

Lets be honest it probably is! I recently heard a number of people using the quote "Google it". Therefore this has to be an indication that the majority of people agree with my statement. From having the organic listings on the left hand side of the web page and the paid-for listings on the right this makes it easier for the user to search for what they are looking for. Also the google bot spider is regularly analysing new sites and keeping information up to date. Due to this the Google ranking system is continually updated having all the relevant and most popular websites in order. This is another reason Google does not cease to fail.

So now I put the question to you how can Google not the best?
