The alphabet, according to Google

I was Googling something a minute ago and when I typed in “wh” before I could get to the next letter, the search suggestion thing popped up “what is twitter” and that got me thinking. I wonder what Google would bring up for each letter of the alphabet. So as of July 17th, 2009, this is the alphabet, according to Google search suggestions.

amazon
best buy
craigslist
dictionary
ebay
facebook
gmail
hotmail
irs
jcpenny
kohls
lowes
myspace
netflix
orbitz
photobucket
quotes
realtor.com
southwest airlines
target
usps
verizon wireless
walmart
xm radio
youtube
zillow

Some seemed pretty obvious, others not so much, like realtor.com? I also wonder how much these changed based on your location, previous searches, all that stuff. I wasn’t signed in to Google, so it shouldn’t really have had any data about me, but who knows, maybe they are watching when I’m not looking.

Now we need to make a coresponding childrens book to sell with the Nana books.

I wonder what would have happened if you turned “safe search” off.

Undeniably slanted towards business- only 7% of that is not commercial.

I took it one step further, and posted my own google alphabet (based on previous searches). It was funny/embarrassing to to see what popped up. Feel free to see the results and leave your own alphabet on my blog post.
