I remember when Google first came out
We had a great search engine called Altavista already.
Companies like Inktomi were crawling the entire net
In order to build even better search engines.
Then Google came out with LOTS of hype
But it was no better than Altavista
And in fact, it had fewer capabilities.
At the time it seemed to me that its ONLY
Claim to fame was that it would get the page
That you wanted, on the first page of results
Because they claimed to be able to predict
What you wanted.
This appealed to STUPID people
But was a demonstrably false statement
And today we know that they have rigged search
To hide results they do not want you to see.
They pushed Altavista and Inktomi out of business
It is the same with most of the other top Internet apps
Facebook was just a copy cat that spect years
Catching up to MySpace and then destroying them
With a billion dollars of cash from insane Wall street investors.
Google and Facebook DESTROYED American innovation
