Microsoft = "Go To Hell"?

RZetlin · October 1st, 2002

This is funny.

I guess it proves where Microsoft stands.

(Note: I tried the search string "go to hell" and it doesn't work. Looks like google fixed it.)

It's simply to do with the way that you can search for chair, and find stuff on stools, chushions, etc. It's a very clever technique, although it does appear to need a little refining.

From what I heard it was because there were so many sites that said something like "Microsoft, go to hell" and linked to Microsoft's home page. Google's rank picked up on that and put the site #1.

What's funny is that when that search worked, the #3 ranked site for that search was... AOL's home page. No joke.

Is simply proves that googles search algorithm works more accurate than expected.

Ninjaa · October 2nd, 2002

yeah, no kidding. I really wish they hadn't fixed that, as Microsoft does indeed equal hell, and they can also go to hell.

Exactly. Why fix something when it's correct?
