    A finding that surprised even him? Who wouldn't be surprised in that scenario? Maybe Kim Kardashian, and that's the entire list.

  2. google.com.eg was his google+ page by 140Mandak262Jamuna · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In his google+ profile he seems to have entered google.co.eg as his website. Somehow that propelled him ahead of google.co.eg itself! Who said Google+ is useless or dead? Or is it some sinister move by the !evil company to create a "wave" for its google+ product?
