The Google ABC
Google loves to create beta products, as Jeremy points out. The latest is Google Suggest, a demo of what Google looks like with a dynamic autocomplete feature. I’ll be writing about the JavaScript aspects of this elsewhere, but the first thing I noticed is that you get a suggestion as soon as you type a letter—presumably the most common search term for that letter. So here, for your entertainment, I present The Google ABCs:
- A is for amazon
- B is for best buy
- C is for cnn
- D is for dictionary
- E is for ebay
- F is for firefox
- G is for games
- H is for hotmail
- I is for ikea
- J is for jokes
- K is for kazaa
- L is for lyrics
- M is for mapquest (surprise, not Microsoft.)
- N is for news
- O is for online dictionary (weird one.)
- P is for paris hilton (the Internet should be ashamed of itself.)
- Q is for quotes (yay!)
- R is for recipes
- S is for spybot (not spam?)
- T is for tara reid (who?)
- U is for ups
- V is for verizon
- W is for weather
- X is for xbox
- Y is for yahoo
- Z is for zip codes
If this new feature goes out of beta, I expect some serious competition for some of the letters, and a whole new kind of misspelling-based spam.
