Hey little Gordo, I got a better word: Google


Right?

reply

Google wasn't made til 2003

reply

Wrong! I remember using Google in 1999 when it was still young and Google is online since 27th September 1998.
But: Yahoo! was the leader at that time and also Google wasn't that big as Yahoo! and didn't have that much features.

reply

Yahoo was massive back then. It used to have a little piece of text underneath the search bar that said powered by google.

reply

I don't remember the credit to Google but thanks for the info.
But I knew that Yahoo! was massive, I used it a lot myself.

reply

True, Google was around back then but it didn't become a massive success until well after this movie was made. When this movie came out practically everyone had a yahoo, AOL or hotmail account.

reply

DANG! you spoiled the ending for me! Just kidding. I've seen this movie a few times before.

Anyway, this show is on, again and I thought I'd check out some of the letters while it's on. By now, it's kinda background noise.

Sorry for being a, umm, "jerk".

He still would have made killing with Yahoo

reply

Microsoft would have been good too.

reply

Gordo was always talking about how he missed the bus with Yahoo. So John immediately thought of that.

reply

EXACTLY! He would've made a fortune, even if it wasn't a huge company that would become massive later!
