Posted by CmdrTaco on from the make-a-wish dept.

Gantic writes "The BBC has an article on Google's 5th birthday. The popular search engine now handles over 200 million queries a day and the word "Google" is now a noun, adjective and verb. Lets see how long the most popular search engine in the world can last, here's to another 5 years and more Google!"

  1. google has sold out to commerce rankings by Cryofan · · Score: 0, Troll

    Google now accepts payments for rankings. If you start a website that comes up highly ranked on queries, but if there are paying customers in that area, google will de-rank your site unless you pay.

    use teoma and alltheweb instead of google.

    Google has censored San Francisco Indymedia because of anti-Israel statements, but lets anti-Arab websites be listed.

    I will never use google again.
