Googleteers UNITE!

[T-O]

google is an awesome! search engin. it's simple and no other bs. Just pure a search engin. no online game or webhosting or other stuff. Just plane tekstfield. not a whole full page of stuff and links and adds.

[McGiver]

yep, that's what we all love about google :love:

[mdipi]

ah nice :D

[DDD]

[nobody]

haha, that guys name was weiner!
*ahem*
yay for google though!

[ScHAmPi]

Google friggin' rules.
(;) T - O)

[Yeldarb]

both of the creators of google are now billionares (was in the paper a few days ago)

GOOGLE ROCKS!

[T-O]

those guys came up with a killer idea. (you'll see that other search engins are tring to copy them, like astalavist ) That's why there billionars. Now google has a monopoly posision in the marktet.

You know what I also never seen a google ad on tv, radio, poster or in the news papier. google grew big because the communitie love the simplecity of google and it's power. No facy stuff. Just pure "you type" we "search."

Ow yea, and yahoo should whine. They've got other great services. hosting, e-mail, messenger and cool online 3d pool. So I am not worried about Yahoo!

dictionary.com:
Google


The World-Wide Web search engine that
indexes the greatest number of web pages - over two billion by
December 2001 and provides a free service that searches this
index in less than a second.


The site's name is apparently derived from "googol", but
note the difference in spelling.


The "Google" spelling is also used in "The Hitchhikers Guide
to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams, in which one of Deep
Thought's designers asks, "And are you not," said Fook,
leaning anxiously foward, "a greater analyst than the
Googleplex Star Thinker in the Seventh Galaxy of Light and
Ingenuity which can calculate the trajectory of every single
dust particle throughout a five-week Dangrabad Beta sand
blizzard?"

i used to know.. but i can't remember any more..

EDIT: sorry, yeah, it's a googol <- diff spelling

[prstudio]

mlk got it right...

1 with One Hundred zeroes after it.

Then there's the Google-Plex.

[dropkick]

isn't a googol-plex a one with a googol of zeros?

googel.com also works

[McGiver]

if you are not sure, just google it :D

1 googol = 1.0 × 10^100

1 googolplex = 1.0 × 10^(1 googol)
