Google appears to be the new century's Microsoft or IBM.

Unlike Microsoft, you're not forced to use Google.

Google has been acquiring major players from Sun in the past year. They definately have bigger plans than just being a search engine.

I tell you. A few years ago when google first showed up I wanted to buy in. The next best was called www.alltheweb.com but google was way better.

Google blew away alta vista.

But google was private and not even commercial.

I wonder what ever happened to web crawler. Early on that and Yahoo on the akebono server were where it was at.

And gopher. Remember gopher?
