    Whatever happened to him? In the early days, he seemed to be a big part of the company and then he just sort of dropped off the face of the (Google) earth. Anyone know the story?

    I took a peek at WayBackMachine.com and found Slashdot's pages since 1997. Did this way way back....but if somebody can get a story about it, the least I can hope for is a +5 Interesting.

    Does everything related to Google get on the frontpage now?

    No, it doesn't. I discovered a strange fluke and possible flaw in Pagerank, submitted it here, and it was rejected.

    Typing google.stanford.edu to search, and how I couldn't convince anyone that it was better than Altavista.

    Everyone thought "google" was a dumb name for the site, now it's a figure of speech

    I just wish my search results were as good as they were in the wayback machine, now people prey on google's spidering and ranking so now I have to wade through the same detritus that I began using google to avoid.
