Wed, 9 Aug 2000 18:40:32 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tunga - GoTo is a perfect example of commercialism that has gone just too far. Unlike many search engines, GoTo does NOT utilize a technologically advanced algorithm to bring most relevant links, NOR does it conduct analysis to find most popular sites on the...
