- tacotomato, on 09/13/2008, -0/+137What ever happened to google? Too bad it never took off like ask jeeves or altavista.
- krekc, on 09/12/2008, -3/+76I really really wish I had invested in google back in the day.
*kicks self* - CreativeGuy, on 09/14/2008, -7/+38Privacy nuts crack me up. Ooooohhhh, Google has your IP address. Wow, you better hide. Don't answer the door or the phone. Newsflash retard, EVERY STINKIN' WEBSITE YOU EVER VISITED has your IP address and often gives it out to any company that offers them a buck to do so. Get over it.
- inactive, on 09/12/2008, -0/+22Checking out their first server rack at the Computer History Museum (Mountain View, CA) was awesome. They used the same switches I did back then - HP Procurve 4000's :)
- inactive, on 09/14/2008, -0/+16I have just printed my card on my inkjet printer. If you dont see it in 10yrs time.. I didnt make it..
- mediadonis, on 09/13/2008, -1/+16I wonder how many people will try calling the number on the card on monday - maybe it´s still his direct line? :)
- EagleTG, on 09/14/2008, -1/+12I miss Jeeves.
http://www.ask.com/web?q=what+happened+to+jeeves%3 ... - AndrewDB, on 09/14/2008, -0/+11Yes, didn't you know that Google employees and their family are interconnected like the Borg?
We are the Google. Resistance is Futile. - inactive, on 09/14/2008, -2/+13You couldn't unless you were a venture capitalist, and Google needed your money.
- bradleyland, on 09/14/2008, -0/+10Your brother was the 2000th employee hired at Google and this somehow makes you an authority on the inner most thoughts and dreams of the company's founders?
- psykiv, on 09/14/2008, -0/+10Or xoom? lycos? hotbot? icq? VERONICA? dogpile? archie?
Damn, that last one is pretty old school. - AndrewDB, on 09/14/2008, -0/+10Remember Webcrawler?
- ohgeetee, on 09/14/2008, -0/+10Am I missing something? What was the second Startup?
- tattertech, on 09/14/2008, -1/+10Or you know... when it went IPO...
- MeatyMcBeef, on 09/14/2008, -0/+9Talk about a flashback. Remember Excite? Angelfire? Geocities? Ancient history on the net.
- inactive, on 09/14/2008, -2/+10 To bad they couldn't spell googol correctly.
- TimoMcD, on 09/14/2008, -0/+6Yeah, the article just says that five years after Google started, Larry page could start a new company because he has lots of business contacts. Doesn't say anything about dreaming for a second company.
- Rotzooi, on 09/14/2008, -0/+6Well, the problem is that Google (using Google Analytics) has your IP address (/cookie) visiting a lot of sites and searching a lot of weird ass *****. One website is not a big privacy concern, but when you can profile a user, that's when it gets interesting.
It's good that there are privacy nuts. - dperren, on 09/14/2008, -1/+7If Google started an ebay rival, I would piss myself with glee.
- inactive, on 09/14/2008, -0/+6Next step: companies printing cards with multicoloured words.
- inactive, on 09/14/2008, -2/+8Shh… You can't talk like that; Google will see you…
They'll take you out back and shoot you like they did to that Jeeves guy.
I mean, ALL HAIL GOOGLE, OUR DEAR AND GLORIOUS LEADER! - leonardutah, on 09/14/2008, -0/+5I just want to tell you good luck. We're all counting on you.
- inactive, on 09/14/2008, -1/+6It IPO'd at 100$ like 2 years ago and if you already had the capital to buy a few thousand shares at 100$ a piece then you should look into being a venture capitalist since you can get into companies like this early, and make a real killing.
- MrsBabyWomen, on 09/12/2008, -0/+4Catalyst FTW ;)
- ToastPop, on 04/17/2009, -1/+5Start reading the official Google blog and you'll see that they have taken a lot of steps to improve privacy and reduce their logs, and they certainly DID put up a fight with Viacom and ended up being able to anonymize the data first before handing it over.
- inactive, on 09/14/2008, -3/+6And to think, only 10 years later and Google can *almost* be on par with Yahoo.
- Azdak, on 09/14/2008, -0/+3Yeah, you wouldn't have had much luck, what with their IPO being carried out like some weird auction.
It's ok tho ::pats back:: - itignition, on 09/14/2008, -0/+3I wish the webmaster of that site would W3C his code before I get a jumbled ***** mess in my browser.
- TheDJBook, on 09/14/2008, -1/+4Google recently annouced that they will not keep web user data forever. See this extract from a report on Silicon Alley Insider.
"Google (GOOG) announced a big change in policy on its blog last night, designed to cool off privacy advocates and EU regulators. The company will start to "anonymize" user data after 9 months, down from its current policy of 18 months.
Until last year, Google was hanging on to its data logs indefinitely, but in March 2007 began anonymizing the data after 18 months -- which stripped away all personally-identifiable information that connected searches with specific computers and IP addresses." - rinote, on 09/14/2008, -0/+3I remember back in fifth grade when my friends tried to get me into this scam called "Google." I could never spell it right. I always ended up at goggle.com.
- leonardutah, on 09/14/2008, -0/+2I had a personalized lycos start page for a while back in the day.
- spectecjr, on 09/15/2008, -1/+3Meh, that's nothing... I threw away what would have been about $3.5MM in stock by going to work for a video game company instead of going to Google. Of course, as a result, I met my now fiancee.
It was worth it :) - heydroid, on 09/14/2008, -1/+3belong
- rcollamore, on 09/14/2008, -1/+3base?
- vawksel, on 09/14/2008, -0/+2Thats why dynamic IP addresses from your ISP via PPPoE is a good thing (tm)... Just makes it a bit harder to prove it was you.
- DiditzDotCom, on 09/13/2008, -1/+3good one!
- WomensUnderwear, on 09/14/2008, -1/+2are
- tattertech, on 09/16/2008, -0/+1Gross simplification of what it takes to be a VC vs. an Angel. And there's a lot of reasons why someone may have enough money to spend on shares of a public company (or one just going IPO) without wanting to invest in the VC/Angel space.
- solistus, on 09/14/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I had to Lycos the name just to find out what they are. It's apparently a search engine of some sort. How quaint.
- cuoops, on 09/14/2008, -0/+1Wasn't this just on the front page?
- Elranzer, on 09/15/2008, -0/+1I'll bet they all still "look best in Netscape Navigator"
- EmperorAwesome, on 09/14/2008, -1/+2I picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue.
- obelix1, on 11/27/2008, -0/+0that's my card!
- ramchip, on 11/30/2008, -0/+0I remember when Altavista was the best search engine before Google ruled the world!
