The Seven Wonders of the Google

Before google there was Alta Vista. AltaVista allowed you to search the internet. Sort of. It was bogged down by poor interface design and questionable search algorithms. When Google came along ten years ago, (the domain google.com was registered on September 15, 1997) it was swiftly adopted by geeks and then the rest of the web. Google's clean interface and accurate results have yet to be topped.

Well here i want to discus The Seven Wonders of the Google
