The Alphabet According to Google

October 28, 2009 | RSS | EMAIL | PRINT | 4 COMMENTS

For no reason in particular, here's the first result for every letter of the alphabet:

a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z

A couple notes: For a few letters, c and e for example, Google actually returns some math before the result, I left these out. For F, Google actually returns its own Google Finance listing for Ford (with chart) before the first result. For k it returns the Google Finance listing for Kellogs before the Wikipedia link to the letter (same for q, though that one is for Qwest and v for Visa). I think the most impressive branding jobs are probably e for E!, i for iTunes, o for Oprah, t for the Boston train and v for an ABC show that doesn't even exist yet.

First name, first and last, whatever you feel like.

If you've got one, flaunt it.

You can use some HTML (a's, br's, p's, oh my!) if you'd like, if you don't know what that means, don't worry about it.
REMEMBER ME?

V isn't exactly a new series, it's a remake from a miniseries from the 80ies

another interesting exercise is to see what google "suggests" for each of those letters. i.e. "a" is "amazon"; "f" is "facebook login" etc etc.

Yep. V was a miniseries and then a regular series; and even a comic book, based on both.
