Happy Birthday Google!

This week marks Google's eighth birthday!



Google has been a blessing to the internet, and whether you love them or hate them Google has changed cyberspace in a way that few companies ever will.

For those who are fans, today is a day to thank Google and highlight what they have done for you. (and if you are not, well, you can always use Yahoo! or the evil MSN search)

I would like to thank Google for creating:

• Gmail (the greatest email service bar none)
• Orkut (the current and upcoming version)
• Google Calendar (to organize my day)
• Google News (to keep me informed)
• Google Maps (so I won't get lost)
• Google Video (for hours of laughter)
• Froogle (because you can't find everything on Ebay)

And I would also like to thank Google for buying out:

• Picasa (so I can touch up my photos)
• Blogger (giving me a voice on cyberspace)
• Writely (a place to save my "works")
• Google Earth (so I won't get lost overseas)
• Google SketchUp (so I can design a house...and a space elevator too)

But last I would like to thank Google for creating Ad Sense, which will help pay for some (future) hosting bills. ;)

Note: I may be a little light on posting today and tomorrow, but I should be back to "normal posting" next week.
