Happy Birthday!

Its Google's 9th birthday today!

Can you imagine what the world would be like without Google? Where would I find source images for my photoshop work? How would I be able to answer the 'is 5689 yards more than 234 fathoms?' questions in Tiny Empires? How would I have got my reports and essays at school and uni done? How would I find out how many Esmiels there are in the world? How would I get quick, cheap, tiny porno pictures???

Is there a single day that goes by when you are at your computer and you *don't* use Google?

Think about it. Then think about any other general internet search engine. Why do they exist? Who uses them? How the hell did Google not only change the way we use the internet, but render all of it's rivals useless? Can you imagine if it changed it's name?

Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google. The name is a play on 'googol', the mathematical term for a 1 followed by one hundred 0's to reflect the amount of stuff on the internet. I hope those guys are proud of their creation.

Happy birthday Google!

I can not imagine life without Google. I agree, no other search engine even comes close. I also admire the many other innovative products Google has released.

Sergey and Larry have certainly been rewarded for their efforts, both being tied for being the 5th richest man in the world according to Forbes. <--Oh, and I used Google to find that link, imagine that:)
