Googlemania
They named their new
search engine Google, for
the biggest number they
could imagine. But it wasn't
big enough. Today Google's
a library, an almanac, a
settler of bets. It's a parlor
game, a dating service, a
shopping mall. It's a
Microsoft rival. It's a verb. At
more than 200 million
requests a day, it is, by far,
the world's biggest search
engine.

money’ -- not contributing to business change and
growth.”
