firstadopter.com writes "The New York Times (registration needed) writes about how far Google has penetrated our culture (soul sucking "Free" registration required) in the last six years with the pros and cons of its success. It's amazing to think 200 million searches are done on the search engine each day on an index of 6 billion pages."

      Don't worry. Soon they'll adopt the business model of the dot com bust and go bust themselves. I'm hoping for an alternative but for the time being, they are still the best option. If anyone has any suggestions for replacements, I'd gladly hear it! I've been using wikipedia for my encyclopedia lately (I used to use google).

    I've been using Google for 6 years, I feel it's easily the best search engine out there. I'm glad someone finally agrees with me!

    I hope Google becomes the new verb in the dictionary soon ;)

    As a Google employee I'd like tell you all something... you lot need to STFU because I stand to make a killing if we go IPO. I missed the Dell boat you bastards, don't ruin this one for me.
