I notice the default search engine on their site is 'ask'. Dunno if it has any relevence... I love your Levellers observation - I always felt the people who were most enthusiastic about that song were some of the most judgemental of others who didn't conform to their standards. 'There's only one way of life, that's your own (so long as we agree with it)' always seemed to be more accurate... Truly bizarre…

So 75% of people access their information through one source. I have two problems with that - Google hosts virtually no information. Yes it's possible for them for filter it but the variety of opinions that any Google search throws up dashes that theory. Secondly, perhaps 75% of people use Google because they find it the best, quickest, most accurate search engine? Duh. I'm with you on this one!
