The alphabet according to google UK

mattyfez · 11 Apr 2010 at 16:26

Not entirely suprising, but slightly disturbing...

Yes it's sunday and I am bored!

A is for Argos
B is for bbc news
C is for currys
D is for debenhams
E is for ebay
F is for facebook
G is for google maps
H is for hotmail
I is for Ikea
J is for john lewis
K is for kwik fit
L is for lottery results
M is for msn
N is for next
O is for O2
P is for premonition
Q is for quidco
R is for river island
S is for sainsburys
T is for tesco
U is for ucas
V is for virgin media
W is for wikipedia
X is for x factor
Y is for youtube
Z is for zara

At least the letter 'P' still has some integrity, an actual word comes in at number 1, beating the purple shirts down to the number two slot

p should be porn.

Azza · 11 Apr 2010 at 16:32

I get *** NO COMPETITORS *** for P. :confused:

It's interesting how people are searching for google maps when there's a link to it on the front page of google.

Why is it slightly disturbing?

Amp34 · 11 Apr 2010 at 16:56

This is what you get when you SEO...

Just a sad reflection, I feel.

willhub · 11 Apr 2010 at 16:57

How is it a sad reflection? It's bringing other searches up that start with the letters.

Darg · 11 Apr 2010 at 17:06

I think he is referring to the fact that in a capitalist market such as the UK the vast majority of google searches seem to be for the usual high street shops instead of anything of any real value.

Inevitable when you look at the fact that most of your day is spent seeing adds somewhere for something you really don't need.

mattyfez · 11 Apr 2010 at 17:10

^ yes, this :/

willhub · 11 Apr 2010 at 17:13

Hmmm, I've just had a think, and it's interesting how allot of that stuff I use regular.

B is for bbc news
E is for ebay
F is for facebook
G is for google maps
H is for hotmail
M is for msn
O is for O2
T is for tesco
U is for ucas
W is for wikipedia
Y is for youtube

lol

But Argos and Currys are allowed in the op...

Darg · 11 Apr 2010 at 17:15

Gone are the days of "A is for Apple".

Hang on that's still quite likely.

Gone are the days of "B is for Banana".

Clearly the OP is talking about

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argos

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry

mattyfez · 11 Apr 2010 at 17:19

lol, mod-fail

...cough... I mean yes Darg, I was refering to the food and the place

Feek · 11 Apr 2010 at 17:22

No mod fail, Argos is allowed depending on context and currys could be to do with the food. It wasn't capitalised so is ambiguous

Of course, if anyone wants to be suspended for discussing competitors, I'm happy to oblige

willhub · 11 Apr 2010 at 17:25

I really want a curry now.
