In the book "in the plex" , the author says that the first demos of google were really impressive both for vc's and users, and it went viral in stanford. that was when they were fighting to get hardware to crawl the web , so their speed wasn't that amazing back than.
So yes , the algorithm probably did won.
- 6ren 15y agoIn what way were the demos impressive? Not sure I follow: speed of crawling wouldn't affect speed of response; and having few users would enable it to be fast; not having enough hardware to index the entire web would only limit the results. Mind you, just making a search engine is impressive, esp back then.
