Google's Bigger Index
WebGangsta writes "Google Inc. today announced it expanded the breadth of its web index to more than 6 billion items. This innovation represents a milestone for Internet users, enabling quick and easy access to the world's largest collection of online information."
...yeah, but it would only be 2 billion items if all the Janet Jackson stuff was removed. ;-)
And of course, 2 billion of that is goddamn blogs.

There will soon be more web pages indexed in Google than people. I, for one, welcome our HTML overlords!
They beat McDonalds.
Man, just imagine.. how much of this information are the thoughts of stereotypical, american, teenage girls... And wepages about how so much stuff is "cute" and how great their webpage is.... ... Someone forgot to flush ...

One for every man, woman, and child. Sounds exactly like the thinking of a machine to me.

In a related story Booble's index just expanded to a Double-D.
Little boys across the globe will have sore arms tommorrow.
Perhaps these are the pesky folks behind the Half Life 2 source code theft and the Windows source code theft and now their search engine includes LANs.
exactly. I searched for "diode wave shaper" one time and got three hits -- all for porn. I had no idea diodes were so fap-worthy.
...that remarkably, a full five-sixths of the content consisted of different versions of the Google logo.
so much for the link to Google, I never would have found it otherwise.

I have Google as my number one source of information on the internet.
Whatever happened to The Onion?

Anyone else find it funny that Google has around one item for every man woman and child on earth?
With my luck, I bet my one item is a page with prescription drugs and weightloss suplements at bargain prices.
I hope your item is better.

Jeez, buddy, did somebody whiz in your Cheerios this morning? Give 'em a break, it's at least cool enough to merit a /. story, even if it doesn't meet up with the apparent need to land a man on the moon to warrant the barest modicum of excitement.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
Oh, come on now, this is Google we're talking about. Just look it up yourself. Here it is in one click without having expend all that effort to type all four letters yourself. (Warning: The answer is not pretty)
Crap on GoogleI wish I knew what it was.

You must be a humanist. As a geek, I found it funny that Google has around one item for every bit on a CD-ROM.
have they beaten Ron Jeremy?
That reminds me of an old Dilbert (paraphrasing here, forgive the small errors):
PHB: We've run out of accounting codes! We can't do anything without one!
Dilbert: Why not upgrade the system to accept larger codes?
PHB: To do that we'd need a budget and an accounting code
Dilbert: Why can't we reuse a code from an old finished project?
PHB: Strangely enough, we've never finished a project.
You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. The impossible just takes a little longer.
One page for every man woman and child. That sounds exactly like the thinking of a machine to me.
My page was taken offline by the .cx registry
I had only read through 1,673,233,497 items by last Friday, and now this. I'll never catch up now! Thanks for your "service," Google.
How could you link directly to Google on the front page of slashdot? Couldn't you have used a mirror? Do you realize what will happen if Google gets slashdotted? The entire internet infrastructure will come to a screeching halt! You insensitive clods!

And on the very same day my latest website get's into Google! Coincidence?
So, you're into diode wave shapers, heh? You kinky bastard!
And yes, I am an ugly American.
This sig has absolutely no significance and serves only to take up screen space and waste the time of the reader.
could someone plz mirror google.com? looks like it got /.'ed
If I could make this sig kill you, I would.
Since when is making something bigger innovation?
I'm just going to go innovate some more tea into my mug.
Without the dupes it's just not the kind of slashdot I think I could associate myself with on a regular basiss.
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, but teach a man to phish...
Oh .. that link was just too funny.
Some people just have way too much time on their hands. (This from a guy who spent 6 hours last night building a new computer from scratch [have to get those cables just right you know], and will probably spend another 6 tonight trying to get WinBloze to load.)
I rarely read replies, it's my opinion and if you thought about your opinion a little more, I'm OK with that.
