El Goog- the anti-Google

For a while now I've been thinking of writing a bunch of bloc entries discussing the pros and cons of various googol services and products. That's nothing original, their products get analyzed to death, but I thought I could add at least a little insight coming at it from the (only slightly bitter) perspective of someone who interviewed there and was subsequently rejected.

My four trips to the googolplex for interviews gave me something like eight hours and over a month of in between time to contemplate all kinds of stuff about their products both good and most importantly bad because no one would seriously turn up at a googol interview and say their stuff was all perfect. If that was the case they wouldn't need to hire anyone would they? And then there's the endless "what would googol do" lines of thought about new stuff they could do, or current non-googol stuff that googol could do better.

Anyway, looking at the googol logo for the googillionth time it occurred to me that backwards it spells "El Goog" and elgoog.com would be a fun name for a blog about Google products. Unfortunately it turns out that elgoog.com is already registered to Google and I happened to notice that while they were at it they also registered GoogleSucks.com. I wonder if they will actually use elgoog.com for anything beyond squatting?
