The Alphabet according to Google

I usually just type the first letter in the address field and select the first entry from the list that pops up in Firefox.


• b blogger.com
• c ccwelt.blogspot.com
• d dict.tu-chemnitz.de and del.icio.us
• e ebay.de
  
• f flickr.com Fuck flickr, they deleted my account.
• g gmx.de, guenstiger.de and google (g is pretty crowded)
• n newsgator.com
• p postbank.de
• r reichelt.de
  
• t t-mix.blogspot.com
• v viamichelin.com
• w wirres.net
  

These are my esentials at the moment. And this works very well. Excpet for some hick-ups, when I am to fast and firefox starts searching for the letter I typed...

I thought, it would be fun to see what google.com thinks to whom a letter belongs (The first result). Lets see:

• a yourDictionary.com
  Good start, you search for a and get something starting with y.
  
• b btselem.org
  Better luck here, something starting with b. Interesting site.
  
• c CNET.com
  Of course. Something for the nerd.
  
• d D-Link
  The first company making real world products (even if it is for computers)
  
• e E! Online
  Ohla Hollywood!
  
• f f-secure.com
  Thank god, we are back to computer products, even if it is only software.
  
• g GMail
  GMail, not Google, a little bit surprising. You never know.
  
• h h-net.com
  Humanities and Social Sciences Online? Never heard of you.
  
• i iTools.com
  What is this? Google for the poor?
  
• j JenniferLopez.com
  Yes, J.Lo!
  
• k KDE.org
  KDE, the computer desktop to conquer them all. We are back in geeks realm
  
• l Council of Europe (coe.int)
  Even if google claims at the moment that it belongs to "Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0126'"
  
• m Texas A&M University
  With Bush Library. A pity George Double U doesn't read.
  
• n Blue Web'N a library of Blue Ribbon learning sites on the web.
  Now this one is odd. This one is the first deep link (www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/bluewebn/) And what an ugly deep link it is. Whats wrong with www.blueweb.org?
  
• o O'Reilly
  Books for gardening. No, of course books for computer nerds.
  
• p PFLAG.org Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians & Gays (PFLAG)
  Can you make this a little bit longer? Like include Children, Kindergarden, Home, Work, People, The World, Life and all the rest? PFLAGCKHWPTWLAATR.org is still free.
  
• q Q4music.com - The World's Greatest Music Magazine Online
  Never heard of you.
  
• r The R Project for Statistical Computing (r-project.org)
  "Your browser seems not to support frames." No clue about search engines but they have beaten ToysRUs...
  
• s McDonald's
  "Select Country/Market." You already have selected every Country.
  
• t AT&T
  Why t and not a? And whats blogger.com doing on place seven? Sometimes I don't understand google.
  
• u The whatUseek Network
  "Does it seem like your hit counter is broken?" No, I don't use medival web-design. And "Copyright 2002" is a nice one.
  
• v Bobby Online Free Portal (www.cast.org/bobby)
  Another deep link. And no v. And http://www.cast.org/ is a good one in Firefox.
  
• w GO P.com :: Republican National Committee
  Sorry, this had to happen. The second time we run into a hedge bush. By the way "FRIDAY FACTS The Nation Hopeful About President Bush’s Second Term" Who writes believes this bullshit? I hope UU doesn't set the world on fire.
  
• x X.Org
  Back on safe geek ground.
  
• y Yahoo! Messenger
  Again same as Google/GMail, not Yahoo but a product from them.
  
• z HealthAtoZ - Innovating Consumer Health
  "HealthAtoZ provides lifestyle modification programs in a consumer-empowered environment" What the fuck?

So, this is enough for today.

[Update] Obviously other people have done similar things before. Damn, I thought I am so original.
