Three cheers for incorporated subversion’s James Farmer and his theory about the naming of Google.
You see the real source for the name [Google] is Enid Blyton, in particular from The Magic Faraway Tree series where Silky and Moon Face are forever serving up google buns, pop cakes and toffee shocks. I know this because I’ve been reading them to our two beautiful girls over the last year and can prove it
Well, I’d completely forgotten about Land of the Slaps [now banned?] and Saucepan Man, which I loved when I was younger, and now I haven’t. Plus, let’s face it, it’s more fun than googol as a source.
Thanks James – made me smile š
