Back in Time with Google

    I just discovered that Google's 2001 index is now searchable as a result of their 10th anniversary.
    http://www.google.com/search2001.html

    Some notable differences are:

    1. Search 1,326,920,000 web pages

    This may have seemed like a lot on 2001, but if Google was to list the pages today, it would run right off the screen.

    2. No sponsored links

    That's right...their wasn't a Google AdWords or AdSense...or any ads. The search results without ads seem cleaner in 2001, yet the right side without these ads appears empty to me now that I'm used to seeing Sponsored Links.

    3. Web, Images, Maps, News, Shopping, Mail, and more

    Well in 2001, there was only the web, nothing else. Now there's Images, Maps, News, Shopping, Mail, Video, Group, Books, Scholar, Finance, Blogs, YouTube, Calendar, Photos, Documents, Reader, Sites...and the list goes on and on! But I'd like to mention one more that I believes sums things up for Google in 2008,...Google Earth. Maybe by 2010 there will be a Google Galaxy.

    ...And it all started with a search engine. :)
