Title: Google Rivals Launch Site Explaining Why E.U. Should Do Something Already
Post by: rcjordan on September 30, 2014, 12:25:50 AM
Yelp, TripAdvisor and their allies launched a new effort Monday to convince European antitrust officials to force Google to stop promoting its own online services at the expense of its rivals.

Too bad the site sucks from design-overload.

But does the user care?
And does this extend to the 1000's of small business's who have been Pandarised out of the serps?

I do think it is great BUT I keep trying to think of ways of getting specialist shops together to do the same. 

From My perspective, they are all bully big boys. Will be interesting to see how far it gets.

What the EU needs is more search engines that can be viable competition to Google. Ditto ad platforms.
