Frankly that was my reaction when I first heard of "google".

My reaction as well. I remember leaving for Google as a huge step in my childhood.

It's true, but this sort of "engineering wit" caused me to look into Google to begin with.

You know I'm something of a "Google User" myself

For a second I thought they revived "Google Now".

So whose first thought was "So this is how google is going to accelerate there own internal genetics research".

Is it weird that the first thing I thought when I opened this up was

"Woah.. this looks like Google"

I thought this was about Google after reading the first line.

I read "Now Google works". I thought to myself, finally!

Yeah I was one of those. Now that the power it brings has dawned on me I'm trying to integrate it everywhere I can with a "where was this thing for half my life" feeling. I truly think it's a bigger revelation than Google was when it first appeared.

There's definitely something disquieting behind the elation.

"google" became a verb

peregrine | karma 2014 | avg karma 2.73 · | 2008-10-14 20:36:16+00:00

I <3 Google

'Google wants to take on...'

My immediate reaction to reading these few words is - "another tool for the Google graveyard"

I did not realize how dependent I was to google/google services until 30 minutes ago.

You know, there's this thing called "Google".

ra1n85 | karma 1168 | avg karma 3.56 · | 2020-04-21 17:07:46+00:00

"Google is trying retail now?" was my first thought.

"For how long?" was my second thought.

"Google-fu" :)

Just when I started to get used to it! Oh Google!

outside1234 | karma 7662 | avg karma 2.81 · | 2022-06-12 16:40:00

I didn't even know Google I/O still existed, which about sums it up.

When I read the title "I'm Google - ..." a very small part of me was really, really excited that maybe, just maybe, some system within Google became self aware, learnt english, and wrote a blog declaring its identity.
