I definitely visit google on a daily basis. When I need a question to an answer, I use google. It’s funny that it has an answer for everything. Not only can I find stores’ locations, numbers, and addresses, but I can also find the top stories of celebrities and travel tips. The ideal viewer of google ranges of all races, ages, genders, religions, etc. It has advertisements for Youtube.com, CNN, and other huge “news” loaded media. The advertisements vary so much that it’s hard to really pin point their target audience. I don’t think they necessarily have one. I think that one of their goals might be to be a website for everyone. Google connects you to the world. It’s very globalized and people all around the world use it. It’s also a community that people recognize to be a part of. It’s interesting because whenever I am curious about a specific topic, the first piece of advise I hear from my friends is to “Google It”. Google has become a verb because of its influence on the entire world. I google information all day long and I googled it throughout the year. Google has become a reference for many people and for other websites, such as Yahoo. It definitely does connect people together and it makes people seem just as smart as the next guy. Our knowledge is turning into google’s knowledge. If all of us searched google for an answer to a specific question, all of us will have the same answer. It makes us equal in a way. It definitely attracted me as a viewer and a participant because it looks simple to use. There is a search bar where I type something, and millions of links come up as the results. It’s easy, simple, and it gives a wide range of answers that you can browse through. That’s definitely what attracted me at first, the simplicity. Now, what attracts me to it is the simple fact that everybody else uses it. Google is what people use. It’s almost become a social norm for us in our technological advanced community. If you don’t use google, what do you use as a search engine? Yes, there are many other search engines out there, but google seems to be the one, the one that will rescue us all and save our world.

It's strange how I can't imagine an internet without Google; it's my homepage and my search engine of choice. It's interesting to chart the journey of Google as just another search engine into something of a web giant.
Your post rings very true with me.
Yeah, I definitely couldn't imagine any internet without google. It's become the answer to any of my questions. I ask my friends something, and they answer "I don't know, you should google it." The possibility of a word that can't be googled is impossible. That is what google has brought to the new generation; the ability to know everything by a click of a mouse.
Do you use any other search engines? I think that youtube has almost become a search engine in a way, with the expectation of a video, not written texts.
I was always a yahoo user. But once I was introduced to google I was hooked. The format, the funny pictures on holidays, the ease of use, all create a search site that is easy and fun to use.
I use google for everything, I can see why it's blown most of it's competitors out of the water.
I use Google so much, it has become practically an everyday verb that I use. For example: "Oh yea, I Googled the location of that restaurant", or "I can't talk now, I'm Googling". It really is so easy to use and has become such a household term that I don't think it has competition anymore.
