Wired Reports on 'Googlemania'

Posted by simoniker on from the like-beatlemania-with-better-haircuts dept.

Decaffeinated Jedi writes "As a tie-in with its March 2004 cover story on the search phenomenon that is Google, Wired has posted its Complete Guide to Googlemania. Written before Google delayed its IPO earlier this month, the feature nevertheless offers a series of interesting articles focused on the search engine giant. Particularly interesting sections include Googlemaniacs (in which 'superusers' like Matt Groening and Garry Trudeau discuss how they use Google on a daily basis), a look at how blog comment spammers have taken advantage of Google's PageRank system, and a gallery of hypothetical interface redesigns by a group of artists and graphic designers."

    I read most of the Wired pieces; I found them 'talking head' at best, and totally irrelevant and unimportant at worst.

    I severely criticise the Slashdot whores who will evidently do anything to get an article online, and I reprimand the lack of good judgement in the Slashdot basement in putting up such a non-story.

    I hate conservatives. If you are a conservative, fuck off and die.

    Donald Duck says, "Hey, no fair!!! How in the world did Google get information about all my sexual exploits with Daisy Duck???" Some jerk on /. is even linking to it!" Oh well, I suppose that even Donald Duck has to have a screaming orgasm every now and then.
