Hi, Probably yes, though the redirect (which is where the adds are shown) is genuine google. I am not making money of this, just showing what is possible.
This is just to show that google can be really fast, when hosted locally. As I have always said, i dont care who hosts locally, as long as it is done. But if the google guys on the list are unhappy with this, my number is below. Until then, go ahead and use this. -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 758 801 749 www.mountbatten.net On Monday 19 July 2010 10:24:16 Steven Ntambi wrote: > Steven > > > On Mon, Jul 19, 2010 at 09:20, Reinier Battenberg < > > [email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > While MTN, UTL & Google figure out how to get google cached for all > > Ugandans, > > here is the temporary fix: > > > > http://google.mountbatten.net/ > > Err, can't this get you into trouble? > > > Local google searching for everyone.
