Magnifisyncopathological: Googling the Google Story's Google Story

Googling the Google Story's Google Story

About half of all Web searches in the world are performed with Google, which has been translated into 86 languages. The big reason for the success? It works. Not only does Google dramatically speed the process of finding things in the vast storehouse of the Web, but its power encourages people to make searches they previously wouldn't have bothered with. Getting the skinny from Google is so common that the company name has become a verb. The usage has even been anointed by an instantly renowned New Yorker cartoon, where a barfly admits to a friend that "I can't explain it - it's just a funny feeling I'm being Googled."

Step 2, temporarily become distracted by the humor in the statement.

Step 3, wonder what the cartoon looks like.

Step 4, laugh out loud at the irony and then Google it

Step 5, view the cartoon
