Me, My Friends, Google and Our Stories


I know the title is kinda odd, like we started the site with Larry and Brin. It is meant to look cool, so if u dont find it that way read it back wards, just kiddin.

No i am not going to write about how google has changed my life and the impact of googling on generation next. iam actually tembted to write some economics, figures and percentages trying to let you now that i have read the book " The Google Story". I will spare you all this time, iam trying to downsize my intellectual image (if any existed) to a more candid one.

I will confess myself, like many of you i belong to the PGG (profusive googler club) googling for anything that i see, read, doubt etc. including myself when i come across in the mirror. I know many of you would have done this and unfortnately i come across all these pakistani cricket players, personalities, page 3 heroes etc. when i type in my name expecting to find something good written about me by some secret admirer. Luckily like some of my friends i dont see hen breeds and genus of ducks, when prompted. A small note in between, i have always wanted to change my name, everytime i convice myself i find some good reason to keep it, like not having to get new passports, liscence, credit cards (not like they have anything left in it) etc.

If google comes up with a list of all its funny, whacky and strange search terms, it will surely be a best seller ( atleast ill buy to check whether i have made it). Try searching anything you like, anything you want to ask or any doubt that lingers in your mind, google never lets you down, they always come up with some answer, like "why am i hugry after eating two burgers and 2 large fries ?" lol . Check it out to find what comes out. I have developed this new search hobby wherin i image search for names, feelings, places, terms etc. you will be surprised to find very funny images for some words. Search your name and you will be happy to know that there are other more unfortunate, ugly and hopeless people other than you alive. I know you have searched images for attractive body parts and famous hour glassers, this will just be a different experience. Dont switch off the moderate safe seacrh than you may be surprised to find celebrities (yes exactly what you are thinking) you share names with.

If you pattern a persons google search, you can know what he is thinking, what he is planning and above all what he is ignorant about. I have had this friend who very innocently searched for (keralarailway.com) when asked to book a railway ticket back home and came up with a conclusion that railway dosent have a site. Google is also promoting ignorance in this way.
There will be some real whacky searches done out there, if you have any persona stories, do write in. Iam feeling sleepy and i didnt find any suitable results when i lookd for " How not to sleep when you are writing something boring?"

    IMAGINE MY EMBARASSMENT WHEN MY FRIENDS AND I GOOGLED OURSELVES AFTER WATCHING THE MOVIE "WANTED" THAT WAS THE FATEFUL DAY I REALISED I SHARE MY NAME WITH A GROSS LOOKING " GAY PORN STAR "

    (am not describin about the pics here cuz then this comment would become 18+ .. )



    I never ever liked my name , always thought of my name as short silly and pointless but since it was harmless i dint mind and never bothered to change thinking of all the trouble i have to go through like passport , credit/debit cards , licenses and also taking into consideration my parents feelings but i really wish they had google back in 87 " cuz...then this disaster could have been avoided ...



    I pray to god that my lil sister never gets the impulse to GOOGLE her bro's name.....
    cuz that would be a Disaster ....


    And after all this if you guys still feel like googling my name pls make sure everyone in your room is 18 +
