I support G.com too Yes it is not feasible because I don't think there are enough minds to think of every tiny detail about the sites and pages before the moving!
im sorry but this is too dumb to discuss... How about ..."what if google made a time machine toaster car" who cares its pointless!
it's a lil abstract thinking I know, but G.com would have been a better choice in the beginning IMO Interesting factor, look at these values google 6 letters @8bits a piece is 48 bits Stated backlinks, 325,000,000 Just off the domain alone, you would use 15,600,000,000 bits, or 14.5 gig at 1024k 14 gig worth of transmission be worth it? Doesnt' sound like much, but lets continue the math... Conservative 1M searches per day 30M / month 360M/ year @ 14.5 gig savings each cycle = 5,220,000,000,000,000 GIG used per year with GOOGLE g 1 letter @8 bits a piece is 8 bits. Much cheaper, efficient, etc. 2,600,000,000 bits, or 2.42143869400024gig at 1024per k 360M/yr@2.42143869400024= 936000000000000000bits or 871,717,929.840088gig Thats a savings of 5,219,999,128,282,071 (Five trillion, two hundred nineteen billion one hundred twenty eight million two hundred eighty two thousand and seventy one)Gig per year...imagine how much quicker it would be if it didn't have to dig through all of those o's, g's, l's,and e's..... We haven't even figured in server costs, I bet this plan would double the overall profits of google in less than 5 years by dropping costs marignally... Talk about going green, this would save TONS of electricity alone! (MB Disk Space + MB Band Width) * Standard Power Consumption Efficiency Index (w/MB) = watts utilized by the website For the standard power consumption efficiency index we went with = .0009 w/MB. That savings of 5,219,999,128,282,071 means 4,697,999,215,453.8639 less watts per year 4697999215.4539KW = 281.82 joules per min or 16909.2 per hour, KWh/148124592 per year. 148124592* 9.58kw/h$= $1,419,033,591.36 save per year in electricity alone. with out considering bandwidth in the above formula... I'm not good at math so someone plz check my numbers and calc if you are!@ Lets figure the search useage increase next:: 1 m searches per month it takes one second longer to type google.com vs G.com that's 1 second gain per search, which leaves 12M seconds per year available, which is about 3,333 hours more available search time that users didn't have before. This means more pageviews, faster time to get the information they want, a happier user, and a cheaper more efficient server side cost. So we will save 1B per year and make our customers experience more pleasent and efficient, while staying less time consuming for both calculation and other data. Think about the big electrical savings, by typing less you save energy. We are in an energy crisis people, we need to wake up. Have you seen the price of gas lately? Energy man... energy Each time you press the keyboard a little bit of electrical current is used. If the whole world typed less such as google.com -> g.com -- on top of the business side of savings the client side of savings is HUGE. Think of the possibilities. This topic gives me goosebumps, I dont see how some can not like it. What would happen to the share price if they could cut costs by a minimal 1.4 billion dollars per year? @141.53B per year in enterprise value, the drop in cost alone would equal about a one percent of total enterprise value, which when forumulated with costs, and other aspects would probably increase the PPS of GOOG by double. Walla! Can I have a job at google? Please!!!!
well if it should have been anohter name from the beginning, it could have been any (a, b, c, d...).....the name google has/was chose because it has a meaning.......G, T, R or X for that matter are "just" letters !!!
It would never happen because google would lose their whole market. People know google. It is even a verb
Haha yeah I get bored and I think this issue should be addressed. If you were asked how to raise profits and lower costs, while simultaneously decreasing the energy demand of your company, how would you handle Google? Google selling their business doesn't matter, the subject at hand is the name change. So even though it's going to save electricity, time, server space, resources, increase profits, etc; this isn't worth addressing? I think it is... I'm sure someone else out there does too ;-) I'm cursed with thinking way too much ---
There are some popular sites that changed name and it wasn't a huge deal. like Netscape-Propeller. But google, since the word Google is in Dictionary already, i think it'll be a big Change. And I still prefer the name google though.
Right,, what if... Isn't it nice to think what if?? But the fact still stands... G.com would save billions of dollars read the entire thread and think about it
