Mark Cuban Chalkboards Out Google's Demise

Read Mark Cuban's take

Cuban is a financial backer of Mahalo, the search engine honchoed by Jason Calcanis.

A commenter on Cuban's blog throws in one suggestion: "How many times have you typed a search into Google only to see Wikipedia as one of the first few results. Wikipedia would be a huge win for a company going after Google's core sites in this type of scenario."

The idea is that much chaos could be made by viewing web sites as potential "wins" for one search engine or another. That gives new perspective to that $40-billion-plus that Microsoft now has sitting in the vault after its inability to buy Yahoo.

Maybe it's time to start brushing up on those Search Engine Optimization skills, after all.
