Nate10 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I really don't remember Google when I was younger. Funny looking at the older versions though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artur Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Yeah it's pretty interesting to see how many times they changed the design. Those special editions during holidays and other events are cool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonSkull Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 We have Google set as the home page for the following reasons: It has no commercials. When you get on the internet you are ready to search. Due to fact#1 it loads quicker than other search engines. We can now customize our Google front page. Google is rarely unavailable I dont change my webpage at all. Well I do update the news and links but overall I try to continue with what works on my pages. Google hasn't changed much and it works. If it isn't broke why fix it? Long ago Yahoo was top dog I don't even use their email anymore, and the last time I was at yahoo it looked cluttered.

Thomas. Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I can remember the Google from around 2002. That's when I started using Internet. It shows you how much it's improved since it first started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaz The Great Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I had an English teacher that insisted on using google. I thought it was stupid because of the name. So did I at first, but it's the greatest damn search engine available. And funnily enough, Google has hardly changed in appearance. Just re-arranged a few things, pretty much.

NSanityHD Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Never really noticed. Google is just the same to me. Boring good search engine Google! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scientist Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Meh, never knew the difference, between the years. Always searched for random stuff. And it looks the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someonesinyourhouse Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Not something I observed, but I guess like with most things, google would have changed over all the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Google have brought back an index from 2001, to celebrate being 10 years old. Try searching for modern terms like iPod or Sarah Palin or even GTA, and you get very different results. Visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustADummy Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 (edited) And when internet was slow, maybe 1.5Mbps maximum. Edited October 11, 2008 by S-V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 How is 1.5mbps slow? When I first got Internet it was 36.6.kbps. Which was incredibly fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onepiece Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I still remember when it was a beta. Those were the days. Well not really, the web was shit back then, plus I only had netscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deji Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 How is 1.5mbps slow? When I first got Internet it was 36.6.kbps. Which was incredibly fast! Fast? 56k took hours to load what'd take a sec with 8mb/s when I had it. Although, maybe you were using a service with not many people online at the time? And you must have done the 20% bandwidth thing like meh 1.5 is a good speed though. Especially since everyone uses 8mb, it actually is faster if you're on a hardly used service.
