Re: Throwing a Googly.
There are plenty of other Search Engines - you just have to look for them, but don't use Google to do your search - Simples

If you're using firefox, you automatically get a large choice of browsers to choose from:-
Search bar | How to | Firefox Help
Hurrah freedom of choice, (I'll stick to google though, my freedom of choice).
So will Graham now be taking a pop at firefox? For their restrictive behaviour.

Re: Throwing a Googly.
wow grahams realy serving us well in his position isnt he?
of all the issues out there to take up he thinks nit picking about an internet search engine is the best way to represent the people of hyndburn
im not anti labour but jesus christ how much is he getting paid to spew out garbage like this.
common sense dictates that if a particular search engine gets more hits on your website then use that one and if you want to compete with rivals make your prices competative
what i am more curious about is who exactly in our area asked him to look into this matter because by rights he should be busy doing what he can for his constituants not other companies whinging about how google isnt fair
the only way i would ask this question if i was an mp would be if someone acting on the part of a competitor search engine paid me to which apparently is legal although not nescessarly moral , not that i am saying this is the case here lol

I seem to recall that about a year or 18 months ago there was a discussion on here about a company located on Bridge Street, Church who were recruiting staff. That same company claimed to host the largest UK based search engine. Whether it is true or not, I don't know.
However, I do know that if you try and google it, you come up with very little. It would therefore seem to me that, as a Hyndburn employer, they would be perfectly within their rights to request the assistance of their MP in questioning the existing competition laws in relation to IT provision.
If that is the case, Graham is doing exactly the job he is paid to do in protecting the economic well-being of his constituency. So carry on, Graham.

If there was an accyweb mark 2 suddenly started up should accyweb under similar circumstances give them free advertising and perhaps even subsidise them until they got on their feet?

Reach Global.
Reach Global Profile
Seem to have been fairly active in lobbying politicans to help them.
28/01/2011 - Reach Global to welcome Ed Vaizey

Reach Global Press Releases - 2010
Interesting article here about Reach Global director, by someone not too happy with his way of doing business.
'You would have thought that a company headed by a man who has met the Prime Minister and who earlier this year was talking of a stock market flotation to raise £75 million (whether it came off I’ve no idea) would approach smaller property websites, asking them to join the program.
That you might think would be the decent thing to do. The “noble” thing to do to borrow a word from Reach Global’s own description of its own foundation.
But then again why pay out commissions when you can simply take copy with a few clicks of a mouse and resell it as your own work?
Needless to say I won’t be applying to join their affiliate program any time soon.'

Re: Throwing a Googly.
The guide illustrates the sanguine apporach to New Labour amongst the Trans National corporate class. for further evidence we can point to the support given to Labour by the Sun. Its proporietor Rupert Murdoh only backs parties willing to do his bidding. More extensive, if less impressive, is the list of 63 business leaders who wrote to the Financial times to back Labour.

Re: Throwing a Googly.
Google.
So brilliant when wanting information.
Obviously a big success, the money's been rolling in, but not a company with a whiter than white reputation, allegedly.
Adrac Ltd Reach Global Group Adrac Reviews - The Ugly Truth
'When asking Isra Sarwar for our money back as the webiste was only 6 months overdue and with more faults than working features he refused. He claimed that we were trying to pull a fast one, although having paid 10 grand and not having a website that was complete (as awful as it was) is hardly a positive thing.
Isra and Ali then proceeded to threaten our company and claimed they would use the website themselves to rival ours - I honestly wish they had because they had already failed before starting.'
Adrac Ltd | Rip-off Report: 644105
First ruler of business, always try to keep your customers happy.
If unable to do this, at least try, using all technology available, to stop the dissatisfied client from using the internet to broadcast what they truly think of you, your company, and your business practices.

Re: Throwing a Googly.
Somewhat ironically, when Googling Reach Global, and it's director Israr Sarwar, up pops this thread.
Something needs to be done, to halt it's power.

...and after that election, in last year's General Election...
'Reach Global has underlined its support for the Labour Party again in the run-up to this year's general election.
Israr Sarwar confirmed the group's official political stance after he was contacted by an international news company.
He told Bloomberg: "All the way through our business life, Labour has been in power and we have gone from strength to strength."

I'm suprised they really needed our little M.P.
