I saw an interesting article on the BBC web site about Googles dominance eves many search engines struggling. How every day millions of people have Google set to their home page and if they can't find what they are looking for on Google they either think:

• It doesn't exist
• They did something wrong

However hardly any of them ever try another search engine. So as part of my experiment I have decided to try a new search engine every day for my everyday search terms I try to find. I do a lot of "Googling" or which I shall now quite simply call "Web Searching" or hey why not "Websing!" catchy? No? Okay ,we can stick with "web searching".

Firstly I will try a whole week using www.ask.com and blog about how I got on. After that I will select another search engine to use for the next week. I expect it will be very hard for me to switch to another search engine, with searching I am basically on autopilot I enter www.google.com into my browser without even thinking about it when I want to search for something. If anyone else wants to take up the challenge please let me know, I'd love to know how you got on.
