they come and they go ....

i use google these days. i used to use altavista and somewhere in there i used netscape. but aol got in and messed with netscape and i haven't spent any time with it for years and years until tonight -- i think i was looking through for about 45 minutes -- all those celebrities and their problems ....

but back to the point, apparently there's a new way of searching for information. you can check out tweetmeme (which i didn't like at all) or oneriot (meh) or topsy (okay) or collecta (which i thought was horrible).

these search engines are supposed to be much more up-to-the-minute than the regular ones. from what i've seen this evening, they leave me less than satisfied. it's either my age talking or these new paradigms are crap.

time will tell.
