Battelle said it right: Google is going to rule business and the transformation of our culture.
I use google for everything!! When I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING! I tried to use other search engines, but for some reason, I feel that google will give me what I’m looking for better then the others. Besides, it’s easy and reliable.
After reading the book and “paying attention” in class, I learned that there’s a method to google’s madness on who makes the first page. I was highly impressed to know that. Who’s ever wonder what it takes to makes the “first page” of google? Things that make you go huumm!!
I don’t see any good books on yahoo and its search engines. Matter of fact, with yahoo, they are slowly losing cool points with me. Reason being, it gives you the run around before you acutally fine what you are looking for, if you ever find it. For example: When you have not much to do, Google/search yourself on both Google and yahoo and see who gives you what information and how much of it. I need to speak to someone in Google and try to get a job there.Shoot…as much as I Google, they should be paying me to do something for them.
Sorry…getting back on the subject, observe when you’re talking to a friend and they are looking for something, you’re not going to say, “yahoo it”, 9 out of 10 times, you’re going to say, “Google it”. Google is not only a search engine, its made a meaning for itself. To Google means to search, to look up, to find. Yahoo…step your game up!!!!
I have to give Google their props, because they have made my life so much easy applying Google maps as an application to my phone. No matter where I am, all I have to do is pull to the side, get the address of exactly where I am and enter it into my phone, and Google Maps will direct me to where it is I need to be. It tells you how long and how far you’re going to be on a certain road etc…you get my point. Remember back in the days when you needed to go somewhere, you would say, “mapquest it”. But since mapquest has gotten so many damn people lost, including myself, numerous of times, the new thing to say is “Google it” or use “Google maps” its better then mapquest!!
I don’t know…Yahoo and Mapquest…watch out for Google, they are coming strong and hard! By the way…GOOGLE…HOW ABOUT A JOB IN ABOUT A YEAR? LET’S TALK OVER SOME “STARBUCKS”…LOL
