It seems like that could increase the amount of spam as people found ways to take advantage of it. If someone wanted to create an opensource search engine the question is if anyone would use it. If the results were somehow better than Google, people would eventually switch from Google. However it seems likely that the results wouldn't be as good as Google because of the reasons mentioned above. It is an interesting idea though.

My argument is that a search algorithm is a perfect candidate for social computing. I don't think monopolies are necessarily bad, but as a monopoly they have a level of social responsibility. Secrets are also okay. In Google's case their lightning fast response times, huge database of indexed pages and their ability to crawl sites frequently is what gives them the competitive edge and the technology behind that can certainly remain a secret. When you buy a computer, you want to know what components you are getting (Intel 2.6GHz), but don't care about how the components were manufactured and patented technologies they use. Likewise, from a SEO customer perspective, it will be nice to know exactly which elements of your Web page are important and which aren't, instead of guessing. Hey Matt, thanks for stopping by.

It sounds like your defense is that their search offering is a monopoly on the web, but there's nothing wrong with monopolies.

FeedReader makes for a good portable RSS feed reader, but it too slows down a bit with a lot of feeds. However, I can't bring myself to switch because of the ability to categorize things with folders and sub-folders. In addition, FeedReader has a "Archive Post" option that moves a post to a special archive folder. I prefer this over flagging posts within feeds because it means I can wipe out all contents in a folder without worrying about losing good items. I switched from GreatNews to FeedReader a while back.

It's interesting that you mention KeyNote because during my research I found a number of references to it by people that said that they still preferred it, in spite of it no longer being supported. I figured that unsupported software, or rather software that is no longer being updated or improved, will not be popular with newbies. Following your comment I decided to download and try it. I can see why it's popular and in most ways it was what I was looking for. It doesn't have all the features that EverNote has and it's not as slick, but it's very functional and has a smaller footprint. This is a good option for minimalists/purists - I wish that someone would pick up the project. Here's how the creator described it: "Keynote is a flexible, multi-featured tabbed notebook, based on Windows standard RichEdit control. It's always accessible with a single keypress, even if you work in another application. The basic idea in KeyNote is that you can have many separate notes within a single file. This means that you do not need to open several files - for most purposes it is enough to create only one file and several notes inside it. With the addition of the tree-type notes, you now have a three-dimensional notebook: many notes within one file and a multi-level, nested pages within a single note. Optionally, KeyNote can encrypt your data securely using the Blowfish or Idea algorithms. Keynote's interface and behavior are extremely configurable. " Julio, thanks for your feedback.
