Dear Readers,
Sometimes, brand names, become synonymous with the product. My Mum mentions that once butter was called Polson in India, or ghee (condensed oil, now out of fashion because of high cholestral levels) was called Dalda. These names are no longer heard of in India.
However, if you are doing a search on the Internet, you invariably say that you are googling. Indeed 99.9 per cent of the time, I am indeed using google.
Just the other day, someone asked on LinkedIn whether there was an alternative to google.
I found this today, thanks to LiveMint.com "Yauba, is a new online search application that protects privacy and allows browsers to seek anonymity".
Go try out the Indian version
This search engine is still in the beta stage. But I found it quite amazing. It will be difficult to break habits though. However, it is always good to have competition.
Best

I remember the first time I heard Google used as a verb. It was in the movie Maid in Manhattan. Silly fun movie that was. Odd that I remember this fact.
Yes Google is synonym for surfing on internet. Now Microsoft has come up with their search engine 'bing' to compete with google which 'Yahoo Search' trying since long.
