I Just Discovered a Cool Website Called “Google”
Posted under Computer Science, The Internets on Apr 01, 2009.
I am glad I just discovered this website today.
Today while perusing the Internet, I discovered this really cool website. It’s called a “search engine,” which Wikipedia defines as:
- “A Web search engine is a tool designed to search for information on the World Wide Web.”
It lets you search for all sorts of cool information on the Internet, like news articles, videos, blog posts, and more. One thing, though — it has a funny name, Google — but don’t let that turn you off, it’s a great website and I highly recommend it.
Check it out! Just type http://www.google.com into your Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator browser and see for yourself!
UPDATE: This was a post I did for April Fools Day 2009.

Hi, this is Feross. I'm a computer science student at Stanford University (class of 2012).
