What would Google look like if it was built by librarians?

ReadWriteWeb asks this question, What would Google look like if it was built by librarians?

But here is the true answer:


First, Googol would be spelled correctly.

And it would be made of wood. Because wood is strong and durable and withstands the abuse put upon it by the uncaring public.

Then it would be given a cute and silly name like "Good Golly, this is a great search tool!" This is so the librarians could brand their product because librarians are all bout the brand.

Googol would get weeded regularly so that all the old, unused, dusty web sites get discarded from the index.

Googol would close at 9:00 p.m. and all major holidays.

Finally, Googol would get hacked into oblivion and shut down because the librarians used the word "password" for the password.
