Yes. Googlism. It is an actual religion. Funnily enough, you can learn about it on google. Check it out and tell me what you think. I think it is the first religion of many in a new technology-independent generation.
I am not. I don't use Google and I tend to aviod the links other search engines give you from Google. I never liked the answers it gave me. I know a guy whose seriously into Googleism and I told him once that I had never been impressed with it's results, he told me that I just didn't know how to pray to it right!!!
Never question the Almighty God Google. If you decide to use Yahoo then your computer will get viruses and will burst into flames. You have just been smited.
People make websites. Google keeps track of these websites, and records text or images on them. Then, if a Internet user searches for something, Google, a search engine, will look through all of these websites and find ones that match the words of the search. Therefore, Google does not know, Google matches. I think Googlism is stupid. Just like FSM. Although, the older a religion is, the less stupid it becomes.
Thou shalt have no other Search Engine before me, neither Yahoo nor Lycos, AltaVista nor Metacrawler. Thou shalt worship only me, and come to Google only for answers. Thou shalt not build thy own commercial-free Search Engine, for I am a jealous Engine, bringing law suits and plagues against the fathers of the children unto the third and fourth generations. Thou shalt not use Google as a verb to mean the use of any lesser Search Engine. Thou shalt remember each passing day and use thy time as an opportunity to gain knowledge of the unknown. Thou shalt honor thy fellow humans, regardless of gender, sexual orientation or race, for each has invaluable experience and knowledge to contribute toward humankind. Thou shalt not misspell whilst praying to me. Thou shalt not hotlink. Thou shalt not plagiarise or take undue credit for other's work. Thou shalt not use reciprocal links nor link farms, for I am a vengeful but fair engine and will diminish thy PageRank. The Google Dance shall cometh. Thou shalt not manipulate Search Results. Search Engine Optimization is but the work of Microsoft.
Eh, as of now, I feel there's too many niche search engines around that are slowly eating away at Google's market share. They're only at about 60% nowadays.
And personally, I've always liked Ask.com - it's just like Google, but without all the extra stuff that I never use and just gets in my way.
