I dont think this is google's fault. Any more than the Microsoft Operating System monoply is Microsofts fault. In general it is the peoples fault. They are the ones that become totally dependant on one vendor. And then they totally bitch about it. There was a noise some time ago about another engine called Teoma, which seemed pretty ok. It never caught on though. If it had, we would have to different search authorities. But, thats not how the world works. Once people find something that works they stick with it. In the OS world I was not one of these people. After DOS, I went to Linux, not windows. But, in the search world, I am still pretty much stuck with Google.
Oh... hmmm... Ummm... I almost forgot that Bloggers parent company is Google. Ummm...
