Can you believe it, Google is now 7 years old! I remember using Altavista and yahoo, but google way surpassed them at the time!

Is everyone here a googler, or does anyone prefer Teoma/AJ/AV/Yahoo etc...?

Only seven? Seems like they've been around forever. I use Google first always.

I remember Altavista.

I only use Google now, tbh, usually find what I'm looking for.

Google all the way nowadays, as Flops said it finds most everything that others seem to miss out on.

Another Google fan.

... and just to be boring, it works in Linux too and you can check your Gmail with the Notifier.

You can tell how big it has become - it has even become a verb! ("Do you google?" "Try googling it" "I googled that" etc)
