    You should switch to Duck.com. I’ve recommended this to you before. Why are you still using Google? Just last September I mentioned they were at 67M requests per day. They are about to tip over 100M per day. And, they just got a nice shot in the arm to continue this growth. I still think…

Take a few of my favorite podcasts and run them through automated speech-to-text and make the result searchable. It works. I’m still waiting for Google to add real contextual search to video and audio. They’ve got images working well. And Pinterest…
