Official Google Blog: Ten years and counting
Happy Birthday !
I switched to Google search about nine and half years ago.
The first thing I searched was a wholesaler in kitchen tiles.
I only had the name, and knew the company was located somewhere in my neighbourhood,
a rural bit of Holland in the Leiden/ The Hague area.
I entered the name I'd heard, and the word tiles (in Dutch).
Within a fraction of a second the company's website was on my screen, listed as the third hit.
I checked the other search engines I was using at the time, and none of them included the name I was looking for.
So that was the magic moment that I got hooked on Google.
As long as you stick to your slogan "Don't be Evil", and keep taking it very seriously indeed, I will stay for another while.
as of course Google will too.
Good luck!

Happy Birthday Google! I remember when i was a freshmen at my San Francisco High School waay back in 1998 and a senior told me about this "pirate site" that was able to give a web search with no advertising. I've been hooked since! You make up the ranks of bay area startups me proud to come from San Francisco. Stay Un-evil!
