It's crazy how different I feel about #Google versus 13 years ago. They were the innovative #opensource-embracing counter to the corporate behemoth of #Microsoft. It's sad how much Google has embodied many of the very things it boldly rallied against. And now Microsoft can pitch its own web services as simply being not-Google.
(I could be wrong, but I remember "Bing" being an informal, recursive acronym for Bing Is Not Google.)
