The Search--aka Google's Attempts to Take Over the World


Ok, so I will be cautious, lest any googlebots are probing my blog. If so, they are probably the only ones to view my blog. Anyway...just finished Battelle's The Search, which discussed web searching, with a heavy focus on Google.

Many interesting things throughout, especially just reading about Stanford and the whole Silicon Valley area and how so many of these great tools began there.

Just a few tidbits as well:

-35% of all internet traffic is commercial in nature


IBM's Webfountain that is trying to be the 'end all' in search
