> When google first appeared it was a revolution compared to everything else.

At first it wasn't even because their search was that much better than anyone else's. What made google popular was that it wasn't a massive, messy, ad-filled page of things you didn't care about. Other search engines were bloated "portals" that tried to do everything: email, news, shopping mall, weather, etc

Google had a simple clean interface that loaded instantly on a typical dial up connection and that's really what got people to make it their homepage. Today, google has slowly turned into exactly what it was created to solve. Ad-filled bloated pages that try to be everything by pushing things you don't care about in your face.
