What is Google?

If asked what Google is, I suppose I might say it’s a search engine even though I know that would be like saying China is a place. There’s a smidgeon of truth in the answer but it doesn’t really answer the question in any meaningful way.

Honestly, I wouldn’t know where to begin to answer the question, “What is Google?”

Nick Carr, however, has a pretty good summary of what Google is in his post, The Omnigoogle.

By the way, Google was incorporated ten years ago yesterday.
