Remember 10 years ago, have you ever heard of the name Google? If someone told you Google will become search engine giant in 10 years time, will you believe it?

Believe it or not, Doug Sherrets posted an article 10 years ago, saying Google, a new start up at that time, will become a better search engine than the leaders at that time - Yahoo!:

A new search engine is Google.com, founded by some kids out of Stanford, the same university where Excite and Yahoo spawned. You might think the search engine market has already developed and today’s leaders — like Yahoo, Lycos, and Excite — are going to be the search engine leaders for years to come. Guess what? You’re wrong. Start-ups like Google will offer better services, and unless the established players react, they’ll lose market share.
