Hi,

As I know that google search reults depend on the system, browser, location possibly, I guess it would be nice to compare the search results while morphos word is given.

It is important to trace this as in many cases, it might influence "curious" people to eventually have it.

My location (IP) - Poland, EU
System - Windows7
Browser - MSIE8

Results:

1. morphos.de
2. pl.wikipedia (local) MorphOS entry
3. morphosppc.com (btw the system just alarmed me there's a malware on the site!)
4. ppa.pl (local MorphOS portal, rank went up because of hosting MorphOS files I guess )
5. wiki.hup.hu/index.php/MorphOS_PowerUP_GYIK - some Hungarian site, interesting...
6. the (en) wikipedia entry

What about you? Got FireFox on Linux? I will add other browsers/systems of mine also, as long as results differ.

ad 5.

:)

> 3. morphosppc.com (btw the system just alarmed me there's a malware on the site!)

See there:

I've queried Google with OWB on MorphOS 2.4, from Poland too.

1. Polish Wikipedia entry.
2. morphos.de.
3. morphosppc.com
4. ppa.pl
5. osnews.pl, link to news "MorphOS 2.4. released".

MorphZone is 10.

Google.fr with OWB and MorphOS 2.4, from France :

1. www.morphos.de
2. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MorphOS
3. www.meta-morphos.org/
4. obligement.free.fr
5. www.morphosppc.com

google.co.th with german firefox 3.015 on 10.5.8 osx, from thailand

1. www.morphos.de
2. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/MorphOS
3. www.operating-system.org/.../bs-morphos.htm
4. www.morphosppc.com
5. http://www.ppcnux.com/?q=morphos-24-unterstuetzt-die-minimacs-g4

greetz from the land of the blue morphos (papilio ulysses)... everywhere morphos around me ;)

google.es from Internet Explorer 7 on Windows 2003 server in Spain:

1.- morphos.de (another alias for the Team's official site).
2.- Spanish MorphOS page on Wikipedia (not bad! who's made it?).
3.- Morphos@land (a personal page of a spanish guy, totally unrelated).
4.- A brief definition in an argentinian site.
5.- The news about 2.4 running on Mac mini, in the spanish version of "the inquirer".
6.- MorphZone!

Queried morphos on google.it from Italy with my Mac mini, MorphOS 2.4 and OWB 1.6:

1. http://www.morphos-team.net/
2. Italian Wikipedia entry for MorphOS
3. MorphOS: the lightning OS in Italian
4. Index of Doctor Morbius articles
5. http://www.morphos.it/ (totally unrelated to our MorphOS...)

(and in 6th place there would be the link to the italian ML dedicated to MorphOS on Yahoo Groups).

Kind regards,
Andrea

It's interesting to see how results change, even when you neglect local sites.

Now again, this time FireFox 3.0 on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) from Poland again, google.com:

1. morphos.de
1.1 morphos.de downloads
2. en.wikipedia MorphOS entry
2.1 en.wikipedia Morpho entry (??)
3. morphosppc.com
4. morphzone
5. morphos.com.au

I queried google.com on Safari4, MacOSX Tiger, Poland, same results as in Linux case of mine (above).

What's that Australian site anyway?? I get timeout.

EDIT* Australian site is unrelated.

To summarize, local results should be inspected (if possible). What I mean is I wish there was something else than morphosppc.com in the place, also if some local wiki sites lack some crucial features, please feel free to add it (consider it marketing).

As of marketing speaking, I head a story that pretty recently some UK company was sued by Apple for reselling the system (OSX + Mac) in unwanted config. I mean all was legal or of legal source but Apple considered this was spoiling the brand. And it eventually won the case/tort in European Court of Justice (most supreme EU court).

I thought for a while, maybe it is worth to provoke some suit since most rules charged are to void actions in such cases... Do we need a bounty for eventual fine? I'm in

Interesting, no US results. Let me contribute...

USA, California, Safari on OS X 10.6.2, first 10 results:

1. www.morphos-team.net
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MorphOS
3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morpho (the butterfly)
4. www.morphosppc.com
5. morph.zone
6. www.morphos.com

7. www.osnews.com/.../Benchmarks_AmigaOS_4_1_vs_MorphOS_2_3 - Cached - Similar
Benchmarks: AmigaOS 4.1 vs. MorphOS 2.3
Aug 11, 2009 ... The tables with numbers are pretty self-explanatory, and the conclusion couldn't be clearer: MorphOS 2.3 runs circles around AmigaOS 4.1 in ... (could not help it posting this as well)

8. http://powerup.morphos-team.net
9. rainforest-alliance.org/resources.cfm?id=blue... (the butterfly again)
10. http://morphos-files.net

I've repeated the Google test after almost two years. I've hoped that starting http://morphos.pl site will change the first five for queries from Poland. And it did!

1. morphos.de, which redirects to morphos.net. Official site at top, as it should.
2. "MorphOS" entry on Polish Wikipedia.
3. "MorphOS" entry on English Wikipedia.
4. MorphOS.pl
5. morphosppc.com, bleh...

More known sites:

7. Polish Amiga Portal (ppa.pl)
8. MorphZone.
10. powerup.morphos-team.net

OK now me again. This time on Ubuntu 10.10, FF 3.6.22, polish IP (but different ISP than before)

1 - morphos.de
2 - wiki (en)
3 - morpho.com
4 - morphos.com.au
5 - morph.zone

Got better
