Google will be obsolete once the semantic web arrives ;)
I remember being pretty skeptical of Google. Better search seemed like a nice idea, but it wasn't clear how they were going to compete with the established players who all had more money, more users, more engineers, more features, etc. Also, Google wasn't the only company trying to build a better search engine. It seemed like there was a new one every month.
- pg 19y agoIf once = iff, that's the most optimistic assessment of Google I've ever read.
- paul 19y ago:) Semantic web jokes are the best..
- schammy 19y agoHate to break it to you, but the semantic web is a fairly tale, and is not arriving anytime soon.
- aswanson 19y agoHow did you bump into Google, coming from the middle of the country? What made you get over the initial skepticism and join? (If you don't mind me asking.)
- paul 19y agoI was working at Intel in Santa Clara. As for skepticism, I'm always skeptical, but I liked the people and product, so...
- aswanson 19y agoThe rest is history. I was interviewing at Altera and Xilinx at the time. Never would have occured to me that something that big was brewing not to far away.
