Nice. I told a few of my coworkers about Google in 2007. They laughed me off and said it was “black helicopters” and such. Then one of them read the news article a bit more. It basically confirmed what I said. Completely without a clue. They believed that all of Google’s money came from advertising.

Startpage.com
On July 7, 2009 Ixquick launched Startpage.com to offer its service at a URL that is both easier to remember and spell, and in contrast to ixquick.eu, fetches results from the G00gle search engine. - This is done without saving the users’ IP addresses or giving any personal user information to G00gle’s servers.
