Yeah, definitely its long way to go for “guruji” …. as “google” already created the path way for others too.
Nice to see some indian stuff in gurujii … thats my opinion.
Yes definitely,Guruji has a long way to go and it is not exactly a competitor to google.But the audience is different and hence, here Guruji has a upper hand over Google(especially google.co.in)
Google is nice but its just a generic search engine, that’s polite way of saying dignified DNS server. If what I am saying doesn’t make sense, go to http://www.bilsir.com/music and compare searching for song in google and at bilsir, you will see the difference.
