When your brand name becomes a verb, you have won the market.

The wonderful things we could research and dive deeply into in the early years of google search.

Now I mostly give up since I can’t seem to get past the shallow surface of things, and frequently can’t even figure out how to get google to recognize what I am searching for anyway.

Isn’t blaming Google, like blaming gun manufacturers for murders. It’s a tool.

Alta Vista was great. My wife still uses Lycos email. Web Crawler was AOLs default. Yahoo was the big dog. Ask Jeeves was an interesting idea that wasn’t ready. mamma and dogpile searched them all. good times.

Google was great.

There had been WebCrawler, Yaoo, AllTheWeb. Before web Archie. But Google pulled up more links than any. I remember first time using.

It was great.

Now they cull the results and choose what to return and use what they’ve built as a totalitarian tool.

Technology can always be used for good or for bad.

“The wonderful things we could research and dive deeply into in the early years of google sear”

It was amazing.

Hundreds of pages returned and well indexed.

Black arm bans seem appropriate. When 90 of users really on a tool that is run by radical leftists and rat collaborators to get their info you get the dumpster fire we have now.
