			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I started this blog I paid careful attention to my search rankings at the big three search engines (google, yahoo, and live.com) for the term &#8220;Daniel Hardy&#8221;.  Shortly after its inception I was able to snag the #1 slot at Live.com, #3 slot at yahoo.com and #4 slot at google.com.  Today the picture has changed a bit with the most interesting jump coming from Live.com.</p>
<p>It appears that I am no longer listed at Live.com.  I am not sure how this works as my rankings on the other two have increased to #1 at yahoo and #2 at google.  The conspiracy theorist in me (while small) thinks that perhaps all the discussions of Ubuntu are at the root of this decline.  More likely this is a great demonstration of what a difference there is between these search providers.</p>
<p>Personally I find this difference to be extremely valuable.  It is like a second opinion or another perspective on a given topic.  Unfortunately one of these companies may soon be broken apart and melted into one of the other two.  Hopefully this will not be the case but it is a tough world and Google is a monster of a competitor.</p>
