Big Enough to Be a Verb

Here I go again, gaga over the Google guys. Call me infatuated. Afterall, big enough to be a verb. You google today? If yes, join 34% of all internet users today. Pretty amazing for a pre-pub business, now turning just 11 years old.

September 1998 they officially became a business although the founders,  Larry Page and Sergey Brin, had actually met four years earlier at Stanford grad school. 

Google 11th birthdayThey were cheeky geeks with ambitous aspirations:  democratise all of human learning by ensuring access was spread far and wide.  It hasn’t been without controversy but isn’t that expected when empowering the troops? Read my previous rant about power of the many over the few, a turn of human history.

You eating birthday cake with me? Just think what Google will be doing when the business matures to say 15, 20, or even a 40 year old business. 

To google, a verb in only 11 years.  Let me think, ‘to kath’ has a certain ring, means to …?  LOL

  1. ‘to Kath…’ (my hero)

    Meaning… to doggedly persist, inch by inch seeking to outwit and outsmart an ever changing environment, preferably one step ahead and never more than two steps behind, to encourage and inspire others and come through victorious.

    Well… that’s what ‘to Kath’ means to me.
