The Sites Google Doesn't Want You To See

Know by some as the "Evil Empire," the goings-on at Google are always shrouded in mystery. The next project, the next piece of cyberspace they will claim as their own, the newest way to search for the lowest price on a Bedazzler, whatever the operation, people are speculating.

Here are a few of the sites Google doesn't want you to see.

Google Blog Search - Wow, i can search for blogs! No more scouring the internet in vain looking for blogs with terrible poetry and links to Yahoo...oh wait, that's all of them.

Google Book Search - Librarians beware! Dewey Decimal System be damned! Google will soon have all the information in the world at your fingertips, making libraries about as relevent as powdered wigs. Can i humbly suggest the works of John Knowles be excluded? A Seperate Peace - worst. book. ever.

Google Cobrand - When i first saw this i was thinking Google
COBRAnd. When I found out the The Baroness, Storm Shadow and Zartan wern't involved I kind of lost intrest. Best guess: Google stores.

Google Preferences - I'm not really sure why they block the search engines from the preferences page. I can tell you to never take off safe search then do a GIS for the keyword "crotch," but i guess that's common sense.

Google Video Search, Video Preview and Video Program Info - Now, this is really interesting. While no page exists for any of these topics today, clearly Google is up to something. Making videos and their content searchable is a huge undertaking so while i don't expect to see anything by this weekend, the very thought of searching for particular videos is intriging.

Google PDA - Apparently Google will now be running your palm pilots and whatnots. This is great because now i know what all those dill-holes are gawking at during meetings.

Google SMS Demo - My hope was that Google is making a cell phone that will enable us all to be time travlers...Time Bandits-style. Instead it's just a way to text questions and get text answers. Not as exciting as flux capaciters and so forth, but pretty cool.

Google Mac - A Google just for Mac users? Finally, technology that will help all 20 of you. Just kidding, don't take things so seriously Jeff, Martin, Kip, Styrling, Lindsay, John, April, Maggie, Frank, Jennifer, Rod, Terrance, and the other 8. Geesh.

While my expert analysis is mainly for sh*ts and giggles, there is no denying that something is up at Google. I'm not sure the combined efforts of Encyclopedia Brown, The Bloodhound Gand, Father Dowling and Harriet the Spy could ever crack this case. but it has been fun speculating.
