if you remember WESLEY from STAR TREK: DA NEXT GENERATION, his real name is wil wheaton and he coded up a blog in php at wil wheaton dot net something like ten or fifteen years ago and since he was a star trek actor that learned to code and the internet was still mostly nerds back then, it promptly blew up. i'm sure it's still there.
anyways, a gentleman i used to chat with on the net had a moment of cybertrollsquatting genius and registered wil wheaton dot org. 90% of the time, it would go to wil wheaton's blog. 10% of the time, lemonparty.
that was funny enough, but then gmail launched, and they sent out beta invites to the "influencers" of the day like wil wheaton... except, yes, you guessed it, they sent the invite to wil wheaton dot org instead of wil wheaton dot net.
as one of the first users of gmail ever, he had the world at his fingertrips. his choice: hitler@gmail.com

I think google only became successful because it has less letters to type than AltaVista, I remember the first time I saw someone use google in about the year 2000 before that I was using AltaVista

not as old as some people here, but i did have a dad who called me over so i could see NCSA Mosaic through that "Trumpet Winsock" bodge to get win 3.11 to do slip/ppp. "son, this is the world wide web"
it actually did not make much of an impression. it was 1993 and i was, like, twelve. there was not really anything on the web yet, just some academic guys posting their research.
actually a year or two earlier than that, something else made much more of an impression -- my dad gopher'd the shareware of wolfenstein 3D and said, "son, i don't approve of violence, but you have to check out these graphics"
i remember, though, when the web started to get good -- yahoo was really the first interesting web fing. you could play chess against people, and it was the first proper sort of online community i'd interacted with. my first email address was on a vax 11/750 at a university somewhere, but yahoo mail was when i first started to really use email. geocities, my first actual web site
yahoo wasn't really a search engine, at first. it started as "jerry's pile of cool links" and kind of grew from there, with a search option tacked on to the curated links.
the first actual search engines that did proper spidering were guys like dogpile, hotbot, and so on. they were cool because they covered way more turf than yahoo, but they were terribly sloppy in results.
altavista was the first search engine that actually kind of worked. all those other guys faded off. yahoo stuck around because of email and community and chess. then google showed up and cleaned up house. within a few years, yahoo's search results were "powered by google"
thank you for reading my ruminating. or not

yeah its technically better, what I mean is people adopted it because they are lazy, and google is easier to remember, if people used stuff based solely on technical merit apple wouldn't be the biggest company in the world most probably
