I thought it interesting that the Google 2001 index had only 671 search results for “Barack Obama“.
“Sarah Palin” had 0 results.
These old indexes are interesting, especially if you’re searching for old data. I hope we see more of them.

Android is looking pretty sweet.
Android Pacman looks good as well.
Isn’t the way Google wants to track everything about you a little unsettling?
At least it now lets you access your data and doesn’t publish it with “anonymous” (obvious) ids like AOL does. Still the privacy freak in me is a little troubled.
That said, Google has definitely been one of the more benevolent companies out there, [...]
I don’t know about you, but my PR was showing as a 1 forever. Not that it really matters since I’m not really selling anything here, but it was kind of annoying. Why wouldn’t Google satisfy my ego like it does for everyone else? (Actually, it was more like, “I don’t suck that bad.”) The [...]
If you haven’t seen Writely (the beta online word processor) yet, you really should check it out. I think the “online platform” thing is going to be huge, and (although I love Excel) I hope Writely rocks proprietary Microsoft to its core. Writely looks sharp and is sure to grow with the funding and reputation [...]
It looks like Google SketchUp is now live. But besides enabling users to put mock ups on Google Earth, I’m having a hard time seeing how this acquisition fits into its Google’s overall search strategy. Still, it looks pretty cool and will probably be great for branding. Plus, I believe that if it’s cool enough, [...]
Google’s Summer of Code is a great opportunity for IT and CS students to learn new skills, improve their resume, and make a little money during the summer. Plus, it offers students an opportunity to work with some really big-name open source software organizations.
Google is not taking applications yet, but it should be really soon, [...]
My boss, Paul Allen (the lesser) asked me to blog about how I redirected his entire blog site to new domain without losing traffic. So at the risk of boring some of my more technical readers, but also in the name of retaining my job, here goes. :)
Before the Move
First, the part I didn’t do. [...]
It looks like Google Finance is now up. It has a bunch of cool features, including links to related blog posts and a really snappy (albeit flash) ticker view that allows you to change the charted period dynamically. Very sharp.
This should come as a major blow to Yahoo, which now has to play catch up.
