Google must be worried... Not.

A couple of 'Google rivals' have surfaced over the past few days.

Alex Yenni unearths Quaero on his post on LEWIS 360.

In other news, Cuill (pronounced, bizarrely, 'cool') appears to be a search engine that's crawling all over people's sites, despite the team being in stealth mode.

In related Google news, Orkut apparently gets more traffic than Google Calendar, Google Earth, Google Maps, or Google Video. Weird.

The British Scoble(iser)

I met David Overton, ISV Partner Account Manager at Microsoft, at a conference today. We nervously circled each other over the bad coffee making polite comments. Then he let slip that his blog gets 65,000 unique visitors a month and I realised I was talking to the UK's answer to you-know-who.

Check out his approach to blog design. We are at opposite ends of the spectrum... Even so, I'll be following him from now on (via RSS, where it can't hurt my eyes so much).
