Everything Google

[picano]

I had posted this in another forum, out of pure boredom... but got to thinking that it would be interesting to see how well it does in an active place.

(Coppied and pasted directly from what I posted elsewhere...)

I'm pretty sure all of you have used google to search for your catgirl delights, or atleast just heard of it or seen its adds on some website.

My question is... whats next?

Google seems to be growing at an exponential rate.

We have... the search engine.
www.google.com

Google Ads to earn website peeps some cash.
http://www.google.com/ads/

Google Toolbar with popup blocking and quick search capabilities, Google Earth, etc
http://www.google.com/downloads/

Google mini, for enterprising business.
http://www.google.com/enterprise/mini/landing.html

Googles aquisition of Blogger.com
http://www.blogger.com/

Google Maps and Directions
http://maps.google.com/

Google Moon (Zoom in!)
http://moon.google.com/

GMail (I've got near ininite invites if anyone wants, 2GB+ email storage for free)
http://gmail.google.com/

and now...

Google Talk (Google IM + VoIP)
http://www.google.com/talk/

I just want to see what everyone here thinks about all this. Google, seems to be ever-growing... adding new stuff, much of it at a price anyone could love... free. They even have a sence of humor!

Google Tech

Little History Lesson?

Bork
Elmer Fudd
Pig Latin
Hacker
Klingon!!!!

So... what are your thoughts on google?

Do ya believe its a huge conspiracy like some?

Or just a run-of-the-mill business operation....

Welcome to my world of boredom.

WOAH!! That's a lot of google stuff!! O.O
I'm only using the search engine, popup blocker...yeah, I have some tools, but I don't use them.

[picano]

I just got scared out of my wits!

As soon as I posted this topic, my FireFox Gmail Notifier popped up notifying me of a new message. Scared the hell out of me.

I'm still a bit shooken up about this coincience... even tho it simply turned out that I have my first secret admirer on the forums.

But still....

[Marie2007]

i think it is awesome

[Cantelope]

Yes....I just got a secret admirer message moments ago also...I mean...who the heck admires me? It's crazy!! I don't see myself as the admirable type.

Anyways, I trust google to the max, because they're kewl. I mean, plenty of it is quite useless, but it's still kewl.

[Loljoke]

If a guy came up to me and asked "Can I trust Google?"
I would give him a really sarcastic look

[picano]

Heh, great site.

Tho, I did ask google first. I searched "google" and "conspiracy". Lotsa links.

[-Shizu-]

hi picano!lol anyway, i like google whats wroung with it?

[picano]

Its just the idea of it. Makes ya wonder...

Almost every business out there has one goal in mind, making money.

Google offers free software and services.
-Desktop Search utility tied in with their site
-Email service, free to about anyone anywhere, with storage that started at 1GB and is now well over 2GB!
-Google ads which check the info / topics on a page and try to report ads related to it, auto-included in the gmail service.

Some people find it too friendly.

[FarEastStyle]

I think its..... Its taking over the WORLD!!!!!!

[BillabongSurfer9]

i hate google

[Loljoke]

I absolutly love them, theres no search engine thats better than it.
and the company google is supposed to be one of the best places to work, considered they have this HUGE place in Silicon Valley and also loads of other places.

[Deathadder3832]

I just use the search engine. I'm not downloading toolbars or nothin from some place that's just supposed to be a search engine...

[Loljoke]

I just use the search engine. I'm not downloading toolbars or nothin from some place that's just supposed to be a search engine...

Same here, the only toolbar Ive got is the bungie/halo community toolbar.
As for internet tools, I never use them unless I have a good reason.

[-Shizu-]

i hate google

why?

[-_-Tan-_-]

yea i trust google

[Sakurako Shiina]

I like google...even thought I use Ask more

[picano]

Ask? I could never use that well... google always provided me with much better results.

I find google a bit suspicious... but I'm a bit of an addict, as I gave in to downloading the IM client now. >.>
