Google, google, google

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways... Gmail. Web. Gmail. Images. News. Gmail. Maps. Google Earth and now Google Talk.

Which is uh, very, uh simple. There are no emoticons (and no winks, thank God), avatars or skins, but the message sequencing is nicely organized and there are no banner ads. I cannot be disappointed with the lack of goodies, because everything we love in instant messenging shall be included in GT in the near future. Ah, I have been waiting for this day. It means that I will be able to rid myself of MSN Messenger very soon.

I want more Google software, like a Google Operatating System, Google Office and the Google Grid. I also want the Google Earth with a Google History plugin for my holographic projector, which I have full intention of owning in the years ahead. Yes, that would so rule.

*sigh* Google owns me... even if they're no longer the media darlings they once were.

R.I.P. Microsoft.

It's only a matter of time before Google assimilates you, Ann. Resistance is futile! ;-P

I am afraid you guys are much bigger computer nerds than me. I point and click but I am learning. it will be cool though computers are grown and run on sunlight. Typing will be replaced by petting or singing and computer programers will be botanist.

And those computers/programs be easier to use too. It gets more painless by the day.

But you can still join the Bor-- I mean the elite! I'll send you a Gmail invite, if you want. I promise, you won't miss yahoo/hotmail/whatever at all.

Google rules because what they do have *works* and it isn't bloatware. This is a new generation of customization and open applications. Google is made for the people by the people. You gotta love em'. ;)

I love Google because I never once felt like they were trying to sell me something. The search results were always relevant and their free software is for the most part useful. All hail the Googlopoly!

Ah Google, redefining geek culture as the seconds go by...
