Google’s been around for 10 years. That’s a long time of trying to take over the world.
In honor of the 10th anniversary, Google is showing us what the search was like back in 1999. The most popular searched keyword? Pokemon.
There were only 1,326,920,000 Web pages. Now there are 8 billion.
If you search “Lindsay Lohan,” only 3,000 pages come up. Today, 31,000,000 come up.
How about “Chris Stover“? Only 121. Today? 5,630.
And what about “Perez Hilton“? Today, there are 3,290,000. Back in 1999, there was one.
Oh, how I miss 1999.
