No, I just did a search for something I wasn't sure existed. I chose the very first result for my example. If I was trying to purchase zoo inventory software, I would go through the list of results, look on zoo software websites, check user forums, etc. I take responsibility for researching my purchases. And I tend to be biased towards purchasing from small businesses like yours because they usually offer more personalized customer service in my experience. I purchase based on reputation rather than popularity, so if a company wants my money, they should spend on customer service and creating quality products instead of advertising.

I didn't know that this zoo inventory software existed. I found it rather quickly by searching for "software zoo inventory". On Google, even. Not a single ad was needed.

Can't decide if this is +1, Funny or -1, Redundant.

Except nobody goes to a search engine to find a search engine. The search results of search for 'Internet search' would have mostly websites about the history of the Internet. Since Altavista was pretty big back in the early Internet boom, this makes perfect sense. I think the search this guy wanted is 'Internet search statistics'.

Umm... GP says the company chips INTO the paycheck and they cover data plans. Nice rant though.

I hate it too, but it's not necessarily wrong :)

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like the AC meant the SMS system currently used in the USA, not the SMS system invented by the USA.

So that's not reply number 5 to post number 325825456 on the WordPress Linux forum?

Why would you use - for the link when /. can finally get us to the right place?

That's the one that bugs me the most. If I make a post and somebody responds to me with more information, especially a good argument for why I am wrong with evidence to back it up, then I want to be able to mod them Informative. As it stands now, I have to hope that someone else comes along who did not know the information and is willing to spend a modpoint on it.

It's Google's "20 percent time".
