French president Jacques Chirac yesterday pledged to help fund a new European internet search engine to rival Google and Yahoo as he railed against what he sees as the threat of Anglo-Saxon cultural imperialism.
Very interesting... I'm not sure if this is going to materialize but everybody is welcome to try new things which will benefit the world. I will be more than happy to try out the new search engine. I learn that due to immediate popularity following President Chirac's message, the people at Quaero, the search engine that Chirac was refering to pulled the link offline as they wanted to avoid the publicity before it really becomes what it is set to be.
