13. Yeah, but all the mongo's except here on DU

are somebody else. I was more hoping to see one of my posts lambasted on CU or something.

2. Oh, like Google's really taking that big of a bite out of Yahoo!

Besides, sometimes Yahoo turns up things Google doesn't.

6. Now this is a little too personal

Too freaking funny!!!

Okay about Yahoo-this has been a source of arguments in our family because my husband Mr. computer guy uses ahem only google.

I have always almost always used Yahoo. I'm contrary to the tide like that. I like the way it's organized. And I don't care-I find things FASTER on yahoo.

But anyway, the other day mr husband claimed that google now filters out references to illegal drug sites-something like that..and I had my smug moment.

11. I'm pretty surprised.

A couple referenced a post I made, that linked to a story, when they could have just linked to the story.

8. Imagine that. A ton of DU posts

Edited on Tue May-03-05 07:43 PM by cajones_II

I'm not as prolific here but if you google my name you get all sorts of Box-ish related products in spanish language websites, as cajones means among other things boxes, drawers, and square open shelving. And of course <i>that</i>. Which is funny because it's just my name.

12. I get strange things when I google images w/ my real last name

It's German for "Box Set" or "Collector's set", although I have a feeling the word didn't quite mean that when my ancestors jumped the pond in 1850.
